paying rent into the registry in an appeal:
(1) exclude the day of the event that triggers the period;
(2) count every day, including Saturdays, Sundays, and state or federal holidays; and
(3) include the last day of the period, but,
(A) if the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or a state or federal holiday, the time
period is extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a state
or federal holiday; and
(B) if the last day for filing falls on a day during which the court is closed for
all or part of the day, the time period is extended to the court’s next business
day.

date, the court may take any authorized action, including issuing a writ of possession
requiring a defendant to leave the property.
