Texas Deadline Rules

Deadlines are computed from Texas Rules of Civil Procedure (Tex. R. Civ. P.) and Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure (Tex. R. App. P.), versioned and dated in the rule data
How you were served is part of the calculation — the calculator applies the extension the rule gives that method, including none
Weekends and Texas court holidays are applied when a computed date lands on one
Every computed deadline carries a conservative safety buffer, and ambiguity resolves to the earlier date
Enter your dates in the calculator for a result specific to Texas — periods depend on the trigger event and how you were served

You found the deadline. Now what?
