Short answer
Texas appeal deadlines are strict and measured from signing of the judgment or order appealed, with additional steps such as notice of appeal and record designations.
What the court expects
Missing an appeal deadline generally ends appellate review absent rare exceptions. Post-judgment motions may toll or affect timing in specific contexts—verify current rules and Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Practical steps
Calendar the appeal period when a judgment signs, even if you hope to settle. Consult appellate resources immediately if review is important.
