that “he or she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the

highest court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis

added). Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only

identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the

local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme Court of Texas). 

While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed

until a corrected form is submitted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 23, 2015.
