When must additional or amended Texas findings and conclusions be requested?

Obtain the court’s original findings and conclusions and proof of actual electronic sending.

Identify the specified additions or amendments requested, not merely general disagreement with the judgment.

Prepare clerk filing and service on each party. Assess any different sending method or claimed mail addition separately.

1. Obtain the court’s original findings and conclusions and proof of actual electronic sending.
2. Confirm the stated branch and actual triggering record.
3. Exclude the event and count 10 calendar days.
4. Check the final day and complete the specific required act. A court ruling, operation-of-law event and party filing are distinct.

Rule 4 excludes the triggering event and counts intermediate calendar days for these periods longer than five days. A final Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday moves to the next day that is not one of those days. Establish the actual legal holidays, court calendar and any additional closure. Government Code 662.021 identifies the checked Labor Day holiday in the examples; an ordinary office schedule alone does not establish every legally eligible expiry day.

Enter actual verified electronic sending, not a draft, judgment signing or later reading. This preset does not select a claimed mail adjustment or another communication branch.

Fictitious example

Fictitious ordinary facts. The court’s actual sending of its original findings and conclusions occurred August 2, 2027. The stated ordinary branch applies without a different start, exception, additional closure or controlling order.

Fictitious facts and the stated ordinary branch only. Actual orders, case facts and legal holidays require separate checking. The closed-day example assumes the next identified day is otherwise eligible.

Actual originals sent

Current Rule 298 uses when the court sends the original findings and conclusions. A judgment-signing date or draft date does not replace that actual event.

Specified additions or amendments

The request concerns specified additional or amended findings or conclusions. The calculator does not decide which findings are necessary or whether the request properly preserves an issue.

Service and other sending methods

Rule 298 requires service on each party under Rule 21a. This preset uses ordinary verified electronic court sending without a claimed mail addition. A different method or claim of added time requires separate analysis and is not calculated here.

Separate court duty and no automatic presumption

Within ten days after the additional request is filed, the court must send any additional or amended findings by the stated Rule 21(f)(10) procedure. The court’s failure does not itself deem or presume findings or conclusions.

• File a request specifying the additional or amended findings or conclusions sought and serve it on each party under Rule 21a. Preserve the originals, actual court sending, the specified request and its filing and service evidence. The court’s separate sending duty does not itself establish that the requested findings were made. File the actual required document with the clerk and complete the required service under Rule 21a. Rule 21(f)(5) ordinarily requires electronic filing before midnight in the court’s time zone; preserve transmission to the electronic filing service provider, actual receipt and service proof. Read any leave, specific time or technical-failure order. Filing does not establish a favorable ruling or independently verify the document’s legal sufficiency.
