Judge Albright of Western District of Texas Issues New Standing Orders for Patent Cases
Amended Standing Orders for Judge Albright (WDTX Local Patent Rules)
On March 7, 2022, Judge Albright of the Western District of Texas (WDTX) issued five updated standing orders governing cases pending before Judge Albright:
Amended Standing Order Regarding Joint or Unopposed Request to Change Deadlines
Standing Order on Pretrial Procedures and Requirements in Civil Cases
Standing Order Regarding Notice of Readiness for Patent Cases

While the WDTX is the only district in Texas to not enact official “local patent rules" yet,” Judge Albright’s Standing Orders serve a similar function, at least for cases pending in the Waco Division.
