Tex. R. App. P. 8.1

As amended through November 19, 2024
Rule 8.1 - Notice of Bankruptcy

Any party may file a notice that a party is in bankruptcy. The notice must contain:

(a) the bankrupt party's name;
(b) the court in which the bankruptcy proceeding is pending;
(c) the bankruptcy proceeding's style and case number; and
(d) the date when the bankruptcy petition was filed. Comment to 2008 change: The requirement that the bankruptcy notice contain certain pages of the bankruptcy petition is eliminated, given that electronic filing is now prevalent in bankruptcy courts and bankruptcy petitions are available through the federal PACER system.
