[If you have PC capability you must file a disk.]

After June 1, 1993, creditor lists must be filed on disks or matrices. To ensure that the lists you file can be read by the optical scanner and interpreted by the software, please follow these rules. Your help is essential both for current efficiency and for future improvements.

Disk and Matrix:

1. Addresses must be in a format of six lines for every entry with a maximum of 40 characters per line. Use lower and upper case letters. Do not use all capitals. Note that blank lines have been added to make each address conform to the six-line format.

Examples:

Line 1      John Q. Public

Line 2      Attorney at Law

Line 3      123 Main Street

Line 4      Anywhere, TX 12345-0123

Line 5

Line 6

Line 1      Joanna R. Doe

Line 2      123 Avenue A

Line 3      Anywhere, TX 12345-0123

Line 4

Line 5

Line 6

2. Addresses must be in this order:
   
   Person or Company Name
   Optional Description (e.g. Attorney, Division)
   Address (street or post office box, not both)
   Suite or Apartment Number
   City, State, Zip (Use the state's two-letter abbreviation, without a period)
   
   
3. The company or individual's name must be limited to one line only.
   
4. Descriptions must be limited to two lines only. Keep it simple. Omit non-essential and imprecise descriptions. Insert blank lines to provide a six-line entry.
   
5. do not include account numbers on the disk or matrix.
   
6. Zip codes must be on the last line with the city and state. When possible, use all nine-digits with a hyphen inserted. Use capital letters for state abbreviations, with no periods in or after the letters (i.e. TX).
   
7. All creditors listed on Schedules D, E. and F should be included.
   
8. The court's "Receipt of Creditor's List" must accompany each disk or matrix.
   
9. Never resubmit a name on a supplemental disk or matrix that was submitted on the original unless the name or address is being corrected. Do not relist all creditors that appeared on the original in addition to the changes you are making through filing the supplemental list.
   
10. A separate disk or matrix must be filed to add, correct or delete creditors at the same time. Indicate on the reverse of the matrix or disk whether it added, modified or deleted creditors.

Disks:

• Creditor lists filed on disks must use ASCII-character formatted DOS text.
  
• The preferred disk size is 3.5", however 5.25" will be accepted.
  
• Only one case may be filed on each disk.
  
• Disks must be labeled with the case number and debtor's name. This may be done at the time of filing, or in advance when submitting the lists within 5 days of the petition.

Matrices:

• Matrices must be on 8.5 x 11" good quality paper, with a single column on each page along the one-inch left-hand margin. No misaligned columns, please.
  
• Use one of these typefaces: Courier 10 Pitch (preferred) or Courier 12 Pitch.
  
• Laser printed text is preferred. Do not include other information, like letterhead, case number, page or line numbers, or stray marks.
  
• Please do not staple.

NOTE:

Mail that is returned as undeliverable will be given to the attorney for the debtor who will have the duty to effect notice.
