Re: PRO HAC VICE FEES
Came on for consideration by the active and senior district judges of the United
States District Court for the Western District of Texas a proposal to increase the current pro
hac vice fee of $25.00 to $100.00.
For purposes of historical perspective, the payment of a pro hac vice fee by attorneys
not admitted to practice in the Western District of Texas for one specific matter was first
adopted by this Court on August 29, 2003. The amount of this fee was set at $25.00. There
has been no change to that amount since the fee was first adopted in 2003.
With the exception of one dissenting vote submitted by a senior judge, the district
judges in this district have otherwise unanimously agreed to increase the amount of the pro
hac vice fee to $100.00.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, effective beginning Monday,
January 13, 2014, any attorney not admitted to the bar of this Court who is currently
representing a party in any matter pending before this Court is required to submit the
$100.00 pro hac vice fee if that attorney intends to actively continue representation. Further,
if that attorney wishes to practice in this Court in subsequent matters, then the full and
complete admissions requirements as set forth in Local Court Rule AT-1 must be met.
SIGNED and ENTERED this oj day of January, 2014.
