Texas appeals go to one of fourteen intermediate courts of appeals, then (in civil cases) typically to the Texas Supreme Court and (in criminal cases) the Court of Criminal Appeals. Preservation of error, briefing under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and petitions for review are specialized skills separate from trial work.
TBLS offers board certification in Civil Appellate Law and Criminal Appellate Law.
Common Questions
How long do I have to appeal a Texas judgment?
A notice of appeal is often due 30 days after the judgment, or 90 days if a qualifying post-trial motion is filed. Missing the deadline usually ends the appeal.
