The PACER Service Center (PSC) is currently experiencing long call wait times due to the enforcement of several security features that will enhance the security of PACER accounts, including updated password standards and multifactor authentication (MFA). To help mitigate the wait times, enforcement of the updated password standards has been temporarily delayed. In addition, we ask that only users who receive a prompt to enroll in MFA when they log in should do so. If you do not receive an MFA enrollment prompt, no action is necessary. Please do not contact the PSC with questions about MFA until you are required to enroll. This ensures support is available for those who need it. Some common questions we received are answered on the list of MFA Tips and Resources which should be reviewed before calling the PSC. |

ANNOUNCEMENT On September 24, 2025, Chief Judge Mazzant entered a general order restricting electronic access to sealed documents beginning September 24, 2025. Sealed documents will continue to be filed in CM/ECF under existing procedures. Because sealed documents filed in CM/ECF will not be accessible or viewable electronically, service cannot be accomplished through CM/ECF. Parties will have to serve sealed documents by other appropriate means as provided by the Federal Rules of Procedure. The court will serve sealed documents in paper form by mail or other appropriate means. Requests for sealed documents filed by parties, made by a party entitled to access, should be made to the filer. Such requests made to the Clerk’s Office can only be processed for the fee set forth in the Judicial Conference’s fee schedule. For more information and a copy of the general order, visit www.txed.uscourts.gov. Click on the Rules & Orders tab at the top of the page and select General Orders. Please contact the Clerk’s Office if you have any questions. |
