Processing an appeal takes time, and missing an appeal period can have serious consequences. Here are some deadlines to keep in mind.
Motion to Establish Facts and Orders: The Texas Code of Civil Procedure states that the deadline to file a motion to establish facts and orders is twenty days after the court has signed the judgment. See TRCP 296. The deadline for the presentation of findings and conclusions by a trial judge is twenty days after the request of a party. See TRCP 297. If the trial judge misses this deadline (which is not uncommon), the requesting party must file a Delayed Notice of Findings and Conclusions. See TRCP 297. The deadline for this is thirty days from the original application submission. See TRCP 297. After the judge has issued Findings and Conclusions, a party may request additional or amended Findings or Conclusions. The term for this is ten days after the judge has delivered the original determinations. See TRCP 298. Under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the lower court is not required to enter findings and conclusions if an appeal of a court order is allowed. See CHEATING 28.1(c).
Post-trial Motions – If the party intends to file a motion for a new trial or a motion to modify, rectify, or reform the judgment, the deadline to do so is 30 days after the judgment is signed by the court of First instance. . See TRCP 329b(a). If the judge of the first instance court does not sign an order on the request for a new trial or the request for modification, rectification or reform of the sentence within the period of 75 days after the signing of the sentence, the request will be annulled by application of the law at that time. See TRCP 329b(c). If the lower court has signed an order denying a motion for a new trial or a motion to amend, rectify, or amend the judgment, or if such motion has been overturned by operation of law, the lower court loses authority over the trial thirty days. after the application was rejected/rejected. See TRCP 329b(e). Therefore, if a party requests a new trial in a timely manner and that request is automatically dismissed 75 days after the judgment is signed, the trial judge may still grant a new trial, provided the judge within 105 days of the signing of the sentence. See TRCP 329b(c,e). This also applies if a claim has already been filed. See TRCP 329b(e).
Appeal: Normally, the deadline to file an appeal is 30 days after signing the judgment. See TRAP 26.1. However, if a document extending the time period is filed (for example, request for a new trial, request for change of sentence, request for fact-finding and determinations of law in a case where the Court of Appeals can properly consider them ) In due time and form, the term to appeal is usually 90 days after the sentence is signed. See TRAP 26.1. In the case of an accelerated appeal, the term to file the appeal is twenty days from the signing of the judgment or order, not extending said term for the presentation of a document that extends the term. See CHEAT 26.1(b). Please note that if an appeal of a restraining order is allowed, that appeal will be expedited. See TRAP 28.1(a). In the case of limited appeal, the appeal period is always six months from the signing of the sentence. See CHEATING 26.1(c). For any appeal (including expedited appeals and restricted appeals), the time limit for filing an appeal by a party, if a party files a timely appeal, is (1) the prior periods or (2) fourteen days after the first presentation of appeal letter.

Filing the appeal with the clerk is free, but the appellate court charges a $195 fee if a copy of the appeal is received.
Foregoing Statement – TRAP 32.1 requires the Complainant to file a Foregoing Statement “upon completion of the Complaint”. In practice, however, docket statements are often filed only after notice of appeal. If a Complainant files a Complaint without filing a Complaint at the same time, the Court of Appeals sets a time limit for filing the Complaint. This period is usually ten days from receipt of the complaint.

Post-Appeal Requests: The deadline to request a rehearing (also known as a request for reconsideration) of the Court of Appeal decision is fifteen days after the Court of Appeal renders its decision. See TRAP 49.1. If a party wishes to request a full review (that all the judges of the Court of Appeal have rendered the sentence of the three judges), the deadline for this is also fifteen days after the Court of Appeal has rendered its sentence. See TRAP 49.7. The deadline to file a request for an extension of the time to file a request for rehearing or a request for reconsideration in court is thirty days after the judgment of the Court of Appeal. See TRAP 49.1, 49.7, 49.8.
Request for Review – If a timely request for rehearing or full reconsideration has not been filed, the deadline to file a request for review (informally known as an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court) is generally 45 days after the decision of the court of appeals decision.

For strategic reasons, a defendant may choose not to file an answer unless requested to do so by the Supreme Court. See TRAP 53.3. In such a case, you are expected, but technically not required, to send a letter stating this (referred to as a "Resignation") before the Response Deadline. If a response is not filed by the deadline, the Supreme Court may require a response regardless of whether a letter of resignation was filed. If the Supreme Court does so, it sets a new term to rule. The term for the presentation of the response by the petitioner is fifteen days from the presentation of the response of the defendant. See CHEATING 53.7(e). A Defendant may request an extension of time to file an Answer to the Defendant's Answer, and there is no fixed time limit for filing such a request. See CHEATING 53.7(f). In the practice of the Texas Supreme Court, there is no petition for appeal, and the motion for review itself contains legal arguments. If the Supreme Court wants additional legal arguments, the court requires the parties to file "full a/k/a briefs." The Public Notice of the Federal Supreme Court requesting merit petitions sets deadlines for their presentation. However, in the unlikely event that a time limit is not stated in the notice, there are standard time limits contained in the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TRAP 55.7. The party may request an extension of the term for the presentation of the substantive brief, without determining the term for the presentation of the request. See TRAP 55.7.

See Connecticut supplement. Rule 13(1). The deadline to submit a request for an extension of the application deadline is ten days before the application deadline. See Rule 13(5) of the United States Supreme Court.
