TX Litigation Date Calculator

Stop counting on your fingers. TX Litigation Date Calculator turns Texas civil procedure deadlines into a single date-picker tap — built for attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who need accurate, rule-cited dates without re-deriving them from the rulebook every time. FIVE CALCULATORS, ONE APP • Level 1 Discovery — For TRCP 169 expedited actions (claims of $250,000 or less) and small-estate divorces. Enter the date a petition was served and get every deadline on Level 1's shorter timeline, including the TRCP 169(d)(2) trial-setting deadline that Level 2 cases don't have. • Level 2 Discovery — Enter the date a petition was served and get every major deadline that follows: answer due (TRCP 99(b)), initial disclosures (TRCP 194.2(a)), the federal removal window, and the discovery period close under TRCP 190.3(b)(1) — which correctly uses the earlier of 30 days before trial or 9 months after initial disclosures, not just a flat 9-month guess. Expert designation deadlines (TRCP 195.2) recalculate automatically from whichever discovery-close date actually applies. Also includes a written discovery response calculator with the TRCP 21a(c) three-day mail adjustment built in. • MSJ Calculator — Fully rebuilt for the Texas Supreme Court's March 2026 rewrite of TRCP 166a. Response, reply, the 35/60/90-day hearing-or-submission window, and the court's ruling deadline all calculate forward from your motion's filing date — the way the current rule actually works, not the old hearing-backward method most calculators still use. • Federal Deadlines — Key FRCP deadlines for cases in federal court: answer due (FRCP 12(a)(1)(A)(i) or FRCP 4(d)(3) if service was waived), initial disclosures (FRCP 26(a)(1)(C)), the Rule 16(b)(2) scheduling order deadline, and document production responses (FRCP 34(b)(2)(A)) — all rolled forward off the federal holiday calendar. • Simple Date Calculator — Add or subtract any number of days from any date, with one-tap shortcuts for common intervals. Free, no subscription required. IT KNOWS WHEN COURTS ARE CLOSED Every forward-counting deadline is checked against TRCP Rule 4: if a deadline lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it automatically rolls to the next business day — including the easy-to-miss case where "the Monday next after twenty days" lands on a holiday Monday like MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, or Labor Day. Short (5-day-or-less) periods correctly count only business days, per Rule 4's own text. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK Every calculated date shows the specific rule it's based on, right next to the date — no guessing which citation to put in your calendar entry or certificate of service. Holidays and weekends are flagged inline wherever they matter. DEADLINE CALCULATOR PRO Level 1 & 2 Discovery, MSJ, and Federal Deadlines are included with a Deadline Calculator Pro subscription — Monthly ($4.99) or Annual ($39.99), each starting with a 14-day free trial. The Simple Date Calculator is free, no subscription required. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and can be managed or canceled anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

A note on accuracy: this app is a convenience tool built around the current text of the rules it cites. It is not legal advice, and it doesn't replace independent verification against the applicable rules or your own judgment — always confirm dates that matter with current authority and, when in doubt, your supervising attorney.
