GUIDELINES TO FILING MAILING LIST

Northern District of Texas L.B.R. 1007.2(a)(2) and 1009.1(a), which became effective on April 15, 1997, address the required format for filing the mailing list of creditors and supplements to such lists. The Debtor, Joint Debtor, Debtor's attorney, and trustee are no longer listed on the mailing list. The creditors mailing list may also be submitted on computer diskette. Mailing list filing requirements and the technical requirements submitting the list on diskette are attached. These rules also require the Debtor(s) or their attorney to sign and file a verification of the mailing list. This form should be attached as a cover page to all mailing lists filed. Mailing lists for Debtors which are partnerships must include the names and current mailing addresses for each general and limited partner. For Debtors which are corporations, the mailing list must included the name and current mailing addresses of present officers and directors, or if none, the immediate past officers and past directors. Failure to file the mailing list in compliance with Northern District of Texas L.B.R. 1007.2(a) and 1009.1(a), may be cause for dismissal of the case for failure to comply.
