It used to be the Eastern District of Texas, with Justice Rodney Gilstrap. I never went to Marshall or Tyler, but I knew a lot of people who did. They're small towns.
I don't know when it shifted to the Western District. Waco is not nearly as rural as East Texas; it's halfway between Dallas and Austin.

- robterrell 2y agoIt's thanks to Judge Albright: https://www2.law.temple.edu/10q/how-the-west-became-the-east-the-patent-litigation-explosion-in-the-western-district-of-texas/ https://www2.law.temple.edu/10q/how-the-west-became-the-east... Plaintiffs file in Waco to get Albright -- if they filed in Austin, they wouldn't get him. Then they make a motion to move it to Austin, which he grants if he can based on schedules, and if it can move there, he still presides over it.
- AlbertCory 2y agoGreat, thanks. Taking over from Judge Gilstrap the Darth Vader role.
