Tex. R. App. P. 30
Restricted Appeal to Court of Appeals in Civil Cases
A party who did not participate—either in person
or through counsel—in the hearing that resulted in the
judgment complained of and who did not timely file a
postjudgment motion or request for findings of fact
and conclusions of law, or a notice of appeal within
the time permitted by Rule 26.1(a), may file a notice
of appeal within the time permitted by Rule 26.1(c).
Restricted appeals replace writ of error appeals to the
court of appeals. Statutes pertaining to writ of error
appeals to the court of appeals apply equally to
restricted appeals.
History
Notes and Comments Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 45. The appeal by writ of error procedure is repealed. A procedure for an appeal filed within 6 months — called a restricted appeal — is substituted. This rule sets out who may take a restricted appeal. Rules 25. 1 and 26.1 set out the method of perfection and the time for perfecting the appeal.
