What is the timeline for appealing a decision?

In Texas, the timeline for appealing a decision related to disability planning law depends largely on the court that hears the case. Generally speaking, an individual has thirty days from the date of the order or decision to file an appeal. If the appeal is to the Supreme Court, an individual or entity has forty-five days from the date of the order or decision to file an appeal. After this period has passed, an individual or entity may still petition the Supreme Court for permission to file an appeal, but this is typically a difficult process. Once an appeal is filed, the party filing the appeal must notify the court of their intention to proceed with the appeal in writing. The other side must be notified of the filing and given the opportunity to respond. The appellate court will then review the lower court ruling and issue a decision. The decision of the appellate court is final and cannot be appealed. If an individual is unable to afford the costs associated with filing an appeal, they may request that the court waive the filing fees. Individuals must submit a written request to the court to have their filing fees waived, along with proof of indigence. This request must be submitted within the time limit for filing an appeal. Once a request for fee waiver has been approved, the appealing party may proceed with the appeal.
