The United States Trustee seeks resumes from persons wishing to be considered for
appointment to the panel of trustees who administer cases filed under chapter 7 of title 11 of the
United States Code (Bankruptcy Code). The appointment is for cases filed in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, primarily in the San Angelo, Abilene,
Amarillo and Lubbock Divisions. Chapter 7 trustees receive compensation and reimbursement
for expenses, in each case in which they serve, pursuant to court order under 11 U.S.C. §326 and
§330.
The minimum qualifications for appointment are set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 58.4. To be
eligible for appointment, an applicant must possess strong administrative, financial and
interpersonal skills. Fiduciary and bankruptcy experience is desirable but not mandatory.
A successful applicant will be required to undergo a background check, and must qualify
to be bonded. Although chapter 7 trustees are not federal employees, appointments are made
consistent with federal Equal Opportunity policies, which prohibit discrimination in
employment.
Forward resumes to the Office of the United States Trustee, Attn: Chapter 7 Trustee
Application, 1100 Commerce Street, R976, Dallas, TX, 75242. All resumes should be received
