United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler and Marshall Divisions (located in Tyler Texas)
If you live in Longview, Gladewater or Kilgore, your bankruptcy would be filed in the Tyler Division of the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Texas. In every type of bankruptcy, whether chapter 7 bankruptcy or chapter 13 bankruptcy, a 341 hearing (aka Meeting of Creditors) is held. The hearing is conducted by video using the Zoom platform. If you have never used the Zoom video platform or just prefer support, you may come to our Longview office for the hearing. If a bankruptcy case is well-prepared, the hearing is typically short with no surprises. The US Trustee has produced an educational video of a simulated 341 hearing in a Chapter 7. This hearing is also called a “Meeting of Creditors.” In 99% of the hearings, no creditors show up.All in person Court hearings will be held in Tyler, Texas at 110 North College Avenue.
Will my bankruptcy be published in the newspaper?
As of this writing, the Longview News Journal does not publish bankruptcy filings in the newspaper. Your bankruptcy records are filed in a public system called PACER. Anyone who has a PACER account can look at the public records. In addition, your bankruptcy will be reported to the credit reporting agencies.
