N.D. Tex. LR 83.7

Attorneys must fulfill the following requirements to be admitted to practice in this court:

(a) Eligibility for Admission. Any attorney licensed to practice law by the Supreme

Court of Texas, or by the highest court of any state or the District of Columbia, may be

admitted to the bar of this court if the attorney is of good personal and professional

character and is a member in good standing of the bar where the attorney is licensed.

(b) Procedure for Admission. Attorneys desiring admission to the bar of this court

must complete an application for admission, to be approved by a district judge, and except

as provided in subsection (c) of this rule, be introduced by a member in good standing of

the bar of this court, and take the required oath or affirmation before a judge of this court.

After the oath or affirmation is administered, and the applicant has paid the appropriate fee,

the clerk shall issue a certificate stating that the attorney is admitted to practice before this

court.

(c) Admission Before Judges of Other Districts. Any nonresident attorney who has

completed all requirements for admission to the bar of this court may, with the approval of

a district judge of the division where the application is pending, have the oath of admission

administered by a judge in another district. The nonresident attorney must file the oath

with the clerk and pay the appropriate fee before the attorney’s name will be added to the

roll of attorneys for this district.

(d) Admission is Discretionary. All admissions to practice before this court shall be

discretionary with the district judge reviewing the application for admission.
