A. Overview

This application calculates pretrial and posttrial litigation deadlines for civil cases in Texas state courts. The application takes account of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. When a pretrial deadline falls on one of these days, the deadline is calculated as the next preceding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. When a posttrial deadline falls on one of these days, the deadline is calculated as the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

B. Legal Holidays

This application includes the following national and state holidays. See Tex. Gov't Code § 662.003.

C. About the Deadlines

This application includes pretrial deadlines on the assumption that the discovery period ends 30 days before trial. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 190, especially Tex. R. Civ.P. 190.3(b)(1). The application includes posttrial deadlines for ordinary civil appeals plus the special deadlines for accelerated appeals which include appeals where parental rights have been terminated.

D. Caveat

Nothing in this application is intended to constitute legal advice. The application determines pretrial and posttrial deadlines depending on user input and under the rules and limitations listed. Local practice determines whether the courts are open on other holidays.
