As many of you know,
I sit on the Bankruptcy Court Subcommittee of the Federal Courts
Committee of the San Antonio Bar Association. This committee was
envisioned to be your liaison and method of contact with
the bankruptcy judges, trustees and clerk’s office.
Judges King and
Gargotta are moving toward a return to in-person court hearings and
asked that I poll the consumer debtor and creditor attorneys as to your
opinions and preferences for timing and methodology.
In that regard, please briefly answer a few questions below.
1. Are you ready to return to live, in-person court appearances? (All hearings? Just contested? Thoughts?)
2. What about 341s?
3. Other comments?
I hope all will
participate in this most important decision making process. We are very
fortunate to have responsive and courteous judges who truly listen to
the bar’s concerns and needs.
Please make sure
to carefully read your hearing notices as they will now start to specify
which hearings are in person and which are by telephone, etc.
Thanks,
JOSEPH W. SHULTER

Thank you for your responses regarding rescheduling
the March 2021 meeting due to the scheduling conflict with the LEK
Bankruptcy Inn of Court. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make an
alternate date in March work with the Chapter 7 Trustee
Panel. Therefore, we will not be having a meeting in March.
However, we will be meeting virtually on April 27th
for “When Securities Issues Collide with the Bankruptcy Code”
presented by Randy Pulman, Chief Judge King, and Judge Gargotta.
Trey is planning a full slate for summer, and it
looks like the Chapter 7 Trustees will be rescheduled to July, which is
normally a month we skip.
Please stayed tuned for information about resuming in person meetings and rescheduling the Holiday Party for the Clerk’s office. Remember to register for the SBOT Bench Bar Conference (virtual) April 8-9, if you haven’t already.
