From a notice recently published by the SDTX:

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas solicits public comment on proposed changes to the Local Rules of Practice for Patent Cases. The proposed amendments and suggested order templates simplify management of patent cases and update the court's 2005 version of the local rules and procedures to conform with more recent amendments to patent laws and rules of civil procedure.

The proposed rules and order templates are available on the Court's web site:
https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/2022-02-15_Updated_Local_Patent_Rules_Package.pdf
Comments should be sent to district_comments@txs.uscourts.gov. The deadline for comments is Monday, March 28, 2022.
