Welcome to the Eastern District of Texas

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

Registration is now open for the 2025 EDTX Bench Bar Conference

The PACER Service Center (PSC) is currently experiencing long call wait times due to the enforcement of several security features that will enhance the security of PACER accounts, including updated password standards and multifactor authentication (MFA). 

To help mitigate the wait times, enforcement of the updated password standards has been temporarily delayed. In addition, we ask that only users who receive a prompt to enroll in MFA when they log in should do so. If you do not receive an MFA enrollment prompt, no action is necessary. Please do not contact the PSC with questions about MFA until you are required to enroll. This ensures support is available for those who need it.  Some common questions we received are answered on the list of MFA Tips and Resources which should be reviewed before calling the PSC.

Important Notice for Individuals Attempting to Pay a U.S. District Court Violation Notice On-line:
A fake website is currently impersonating 
www.cvb.uscourts.gov and may attempt to collect personal or financial information fraudulently. The only official website for paying a U.S. District Court Violation Notice is www.cvb.uscourts.gov. If you are paying online, please verify the web address carefully and report suspicious activity to the Central Violations Bureau (CVB) at 800-827-2982 or info@cvb.uscourts.gov. Alternatively, you may pay a ticket over the phone by calling the CVB at the same number.

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.
