Western District of Texas

Appeals

When the record is at the Court of Appeals, should all subsequent filings be filed with the Court of Appeals?

Once the record is at the Court of Appeals, all further filings relating to the appeal should be sent to the Court of Appeals. However, transcript order forms should be filed in the District Court. If a pleading is filed in the District Court (and any subsequent ruling should one be necessary), it will be forwarded to the Court of Appeals as a supplement to the record.
