Advantages of Collaborating With Local Counsel in Texas

The Crucial Role Local Counsel Plays in Federal Court Cases

As an out-of-state attorney managing a federal lawsuit in Texas, it’s essential to have the support of local counsel to appear in the case pro hac vice. The federal court’s regulations mandate that an admitted co-counsel practicing in the district should present the pro hac vice motion. Other tasks that only local counsel is authorized to perform during a federal court case include:

  • Managing electronic filings through the court’s system
  • Engaging in communication with the court and opposing counsel
  • Receiving service filings
  • Maintaining responsibility for e-filing and serving via the CM/ECF

Our local counsel is fully prepared to perform these duties, provided he is identified by name and contact information in the pro hac vice motion.
