Welcome to the Eastern District of Texas

NextGen ECF is now LIVE for the Eastern District of Texas!

System Security Update: NextGen users must enroll for multifactor authentication (MFA) by 12/31/2025.

As PACER will begin randomly requiring enrollment in August 2025, users are encouraged to voluntarily enroll beginning 5/11/2025. Instructions are available here.

(Users using third-party software for filing should ensure MFA is supported by the software before enrolling to avoid disruption in business processes.)

Questions? Please email the PACER Service Center or call (800) 676-6856 (Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT)

Important Information:
Please continue to submit CJA vouchers so that payments can be disbursed as soon as funding is available. 
Keep updated on the evolving situation.
