The Clerk will schedule a date and time for the meeting of creditors pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §

341. The Debtor and Debtor's Attorney must attend the § 341 Meeting. If the Debtor does not attend the scheduled § 341 Meeting, the Trustee will certify the case for dismissal pursuant to

G.O. 98-4 and G.O. 2003-03. No member of the Trustee’s staff or the Trustee can excuse Debtors from attending the § 341 Meeting. The Trustee will not agree to continue a § 341 Meeting except in extreme circumstances. In general, the examinations will be limited to fifteen (15) minutes each. The presiding officer will ask some routine questions after the Debtor is placed under oath and will verify the Debtor’s name, address, and social security number. The Debtor will be passed to Debtor’s counsel for further examination. If a creditor is conducting a lengthy examination, the presiding officer may adjourn or continue the § 341 Meeting and suggest that the creditor notice an examination pursuant to B.R. 2004. Future scheduled meetings can be found at the Trustee’s web site at www.ch13-12westtex.org.
