Served with a Texas citation? The Monday-next answer clock

A Texas citation runs to the Monday next after the expiration of twenty days from the date of service — the answer is due by 10 a.m. that Monday. If day twenty lands on a Monday, the clock rolls to the following one.

The honesty note

Always read the citation you were actually served — its text controls.

Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county practice defer to your county's published procedure and the district clerk — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
