Calculators

We built these deadline calculators to make it easier to work with time-based rules and schedules that come up over and over again. In practice, keeping track of how time is counted can be harder than it seems, especially when different rules apply in different contexts. Some of the tools here are tied to procedural rules used in Texas and federal courts, while others are general date calculators meant for planning and checking timelines. Many of these calculators started as tools we built for our own use and later expanded so others could use them as well.

For court-specific deadlines, the calculators are grouped by jurisdiction and follow the counting methods found in the rules themselves. As a result, they can help identify likely deadlines and show how those deadlines are typically calculated in practice. At the same time, local rules and case-specific orders can change the outcome, so results should always be confirmed against the governing authority.

Outside the court context, the general calculators serve a simpler purpose. They provide straightforward ways to work with dates and time intervals, either on their own or alongside the court-specific tools.

Additional calculators and reference tools are added periodically. If there’s a calculator you want us to add or something here that could work better, we’re always open to feedback.
