Tex. R. App. P. 26.3

Notes and Comments

Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 41. All times for perfecting appeal in civil cases - including the time for perfecting a restricted appeal - are stated. An extension of time is available for all appeals. The provisions of former Rule 41(c) regarding prematurely filed documents are moved to Rule 27. Nonsubstantive changes are made in the rule for criminal cases.
