Deadline in Texas
In Texas, the deadline to file a notice of appeal is 30 days after the judgment is signed, as set out in Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.1. This 30-day period begins on the date the trial court signs the final judgment, not the date it is rendered orally or entered in the docket. The rule provides a uniform timeframe for initiating an appeal in most civil cases, though certain motions can alter this window. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure contains the full text of Rule 26.1, including any exceptions or extensions that may apply. The example below illustrates how the 30-day count operates in practice. For a precise deadline tailored to a specific judgment date, the DocketMath calculator can compute the exact due date.
