March 2022 Meeting – SABBA Takes a Break, No Meeting in March, 2022.

San Antonio Bankruptcy Bar Association is NOT meeting in March, 2022, allowing members to prepare for the Western District of Texas Bench Bar Conference April 6 to April 8, 2022.

By the way, if you are not in Salado, Texas, please remember that the Battle of the Flowers is scheduled for April 8, 2022, and that Bexar County Courthouse is closed for a County Holiday, so plan accordingly.

We’ll see you in April, 2022, (planning to have the Chapter V Trustee panel.)

State Bar Board Representative for District 10

Request from TAMMY WINCOTT:

Re: State Bar Board Representative for District 10

[Transmittal of this message has been approved by Trey White, SABBA President.]

Greetings:

I, Tammy Wincott, am running for a place on our State Bar Board of Directors as one of two persons representing Bexar County (Tom Crosley is the other person whom I would join). In order to be a candidate I must obtain 115 signatures from practicing lawyers/Judges within Bexar County or who hold an active license and have a primary address within Bexar County.

Panhandling at the Courthouse steps has not been lucrative in the past couple of years and neither is obtaining signatures; therefore, I can use all the assistance possible.

Therefore, I’ve attached the petition.

An electronic signature in any current practiced format including /s/ John M. Smith is acceptable. A person may sign and return the petition directly to me via my email: twincott@wincottlaw.com – there is no need to circulate the petition for multiple signatures per page, if I turn in 115 separate pages I will just have to plant more trees.

I must turn these in to the State Bar NLT February 25, 2022; therefore, time is of the essence.

Please download the petition (pop out button on top-right, or download link is at bottom of form).

Request for Comment – re: Resumption of In-person Hearings

Repeating the Request from JOSEPH W. SHULTER:

Greetings:

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
