NOTE: If the answer date is a state holiday on which the state courts are closed then the answer is due the next day, Tuesday at 10:00am. These dates are marked with an *. This chart only applies to lawsuits in the district and county courts of the State of Texas and where personal service has been obtained. If the 20th day falls on a Monday, the answer is technically due the following Monday. However, in an abundance of caution, the better practice is to file the answer on that Monday
