In the Lipshy citation, the abbreviation 'N.D. Tex.' identifies which district court?

In federal court citations, the district is shown by the combination of a directional abbreviation and the state. N.D. Tex. breaks down as N.D. = Northern District, Tex. = Texas. So N.D. Tex. identifies the Northern District of Texas. Texas is divided into four federal districts—Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western—so a Northwest District does not exist. That’s why this abbreviation signals the Northern District of Texas, not the Southern, Eastern, or Western districts.
