Changelog

Every change to a rule or to holiday data is listed here with its date and the data version shown under each result.

Data version 2026.11.08-2 — November 8, 2026

  • Added Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and North Carolina as drafts: each state’s own counting rule (Civ.R. 6, MCR 1.108, R. 1:3-1, Rule 6(a)), mail-day rule, court holiday list for 2026 and 2027, and named deadlines (57, 73, 74 and 66). The official websites of all four states refused connections from this location, so the texts were read on mirrors, in archived copies of the official pages and in the courts’ own orders where available; the pages stay unpublished until the official texts are checked and the attorney has reviewed them.

Data version 2026.11.08-1 — November 8, 2026

  • Added a 2027 holiday page for each court system (federal, California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Florida and Georgia) with that system’s observance rules and calendar files, and question-and-answer sections on the three guides and the two hubs.
  • Published the Georgia calculator. O.C.G.A. §§ 1-3-1, 1-4-1 and 9-11-6 were read on the official code site (the General Assembly’s public-access edition, current through the 2026 Special Session), and the Georgia rules are now marked official; citations point there.

Data version 2026.11.07-6 — November 7, 2026

  • Attorney review recorded for all 325 named deadlines, the bankruptcy counting rules (Rule 9006), the Texas hearing-notice rule, the Florida start-of-count change and the Georgia rules. The notice that a named deadline’s period awaited review no longer appears.
  • Added two calculators organised by event rather than by court: discovery response deadlines in federal court (Rules 33, 34, 36 and 26) and notices of appeal across the federal courts and six states.
  • Pages that depend on rule or holiday data now carry the data version’s date as their modification date.
  • Published the Texas, Florida and bankruptcy calculators. Florida’s rules are now marked as read in the official text (the Florida Bar’s consolidated rules and the Supreme Court’s amendment opinions). Georgia stays unpublished until O.C.G.A. §§ 1-3-1 and 1-4-1 can be read on the official code site.

Data version 2026.11.07-5 — November 7, 2026

  • Added Georgia: counting under O.C.G.A. § 1-3-1(d)(3), including the rule that periods under seven days skip weekends and holidays, three days for mail or e-mail service (§ 9-11-6(e)), the Governor’s 2026 and 2027 holiday lists, and 43 named deadlines. The Georgia calculator is unpublished until the attorney review.
  • Added Georgia’s state holidays to the 2026, 2027 and 2028 holiday pages, with calendar files.
  • A named deadline built on a counting rule that is itself awaiting review no longer says the counting rule was reviewed.

Data version 2026.11.07-4 — November 7, 2026

  • Added 282 named deadlines across the federal, bankruptcy, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas and Florida calculators: pick “Answers to interrogatories” or “Notice of appeal” and the period, trigger and rule fill in. Each period was read in the official rule or statute. They run on the counting rules already reviewed by an attorney; the periods themselves are awaiting that review, and each result says so.
  • Added a bankruptcy deadline calculator under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006, with three days for mail, leaving with the clerk or consented service (9006(f)). It is unpublished until the attorney review.
  • Added a 2026 court holiday page, a court holidays overview comparing how each system moves a weekend holiday, and New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida holiday tables and calendar files for 2026 to 2028.
  • Added a guides overview with a glossary of counting terms, and question-and-answer sections on each calculator page.

Data version 2026.11.07-3 — November 7, 2026

  • Texas: the Rules of Civil Procedure (Rules 4, 21(b), 21a(c), 99(b) and 502.5) and the statutes behind the Texas calculators were re-read on txcourts.gov and the Texas Legislative Council’s site; the Texas rules are now marked verified. No date changed.
  • Illinois: 5 ILCS 70/1.11, 5 ILCS 490/60 and 205 ILCS 630/17 were read on ilga.gov, which has moved its statute pages to new addresses; the Illinois rules are now marked verified and the links updated. No date changed.
  • The FTCA six-month rule (28 U.S.C. §§ 2401(b), 2675(a), read on govinfo.gov) and California’s two-year personal-injury rule (Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1, read on leginfo) are now marked verified.
  • Published the home page, the Illinois, Texas answer, court-date and statute-of-limitations calculators, the guides, the 2027 and 2028 holiday pages and the information pages. The Texas periods and Florida calculators stay unpublished until their latest changes are reviewed.
  • Florida Thirteenth Circuit: added June 19, September 11 (Rosh Hashanah), December 24 and , the days the Hillsborough County Clerk’s office is closed beyond the statewide holidays (Rule 2.514(a)(6)(B)).

Data version 2026.11.07-2 — November 7, 2026

  • Published the federal, California, New York and Pennsylvania calculators. Their rules are verified against official sources and reviewed by an attorney.
  • The Texas holiday statutes (Gov’t Code ch. 662) were re-read in the official text published by the Texas Legislative Council; the dates are unchanged.
  • Lincoln’s Birthday for federal courts in Illinois was confirmed for 2026 and 2027 on the state’s holiday list and in the Illinois Supreme Court’s holiday orders; the dates are unchanged.

Data version 2026.11.07-1 — November 7, 2026

  • Attorney review recorded for the rules in all seven jurisdictions (federal, California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois), except the new Texas three-day hearing-notice calculator, which was added after the review. Calculator pages whose rules are all reviewed now say “Reviewed by an attorney.”

Data version 2026.11.06-7 — November 6, 2026

Every rule, holiday date and closure was re-checked against official sources after attorney review. Changes:

  • Florida: counting now begins on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, as Rule 2.514(a)(1)(A) has required since ; a period counted back from a hearing starts on the business day before it. Deadlines triggered on a Friday, a weekend or the eve of a holiday move later: a 30-day appeal from an order rendered is due Tuesday, December 8, not Monday, December 7. The Ninth Circuit’s holidays for late 2026 and 2027 were added from its court-holidays page.
  • Texas: a new calculator for the three-day hearing notice of TRCP 21(b) shows both the business-day count and the calendar-day count, because Rule 4 counts weekends in “the three-day periods in Rules 21 and 21a”. Juneteenth 2026 was added for Travis, Tarrant and Dallas counties, Dallas’s January 27 and 28, 2026 storm closures and El Paso’s closure were added, and Hidalgo County’s holidays, adopted by its commissioners court, are now applied.
  • New York: the answer is due in 20 days, or 30 days after service is complete for the CPLR 303, 308(2)-(5) and 313-315 methods; the notes and holiday descriptions now cite General Construction Law § 24.
  • Illinois: federal courts in Illinois now apply only Lincoln’s Birthday, which is both a statutory and a state-court holiday, and flag the other Illinois days.
  • California: the summary-judgment service notes cite Code Civ. Proc. § 1005(c), and our description of the Ninth Circuit’s holdings is limited to the day after Thanksgiving. Lunar New Year () was added to the 2028 state-holiday list.
  • Federal: closures were added for C.D. Cal. and E.D. Cal. (), N.D. Ill. (January 2 and ), D.N.J. (), E.D. Va. (January 26 and 27, 2026) and S.D. Tex. (noon on ), all flagged; closure notes now say only what each court announced.

Data version 2026.11.06-6 — November 6, 2026

  • Added Pennsylvania (Pa.R.J.A. 107, which replaced Pa.R.C.P. 106): periods after service with no mail days, answers under Rule 1026, notices of appeal under Pa.R.A.P. 903(a) counted from the Rule 236 docket entry, and post-trial motions under Rule 227.1. Flag Day, Election Day and court-closure-only days give a later alternative date.
  • Added Illinois: periods counted from the date service is complete under Rule 12(c) (four days after mailing; the third court day after delivery to a carrier), answers to a 30-day summons, notices of appeal under Rule 303(a), and Cook County motion notice in court days under its Rule 2.1. Courts follow the Supreme Court’s holiday orders; Pulaski Day, Good Friday and Election Day give a later alternative date.
  • New York: notice of motion under CPLR 2214(b), with mail days added; a weekend or holiday last day is shown as the business day before, with the literal General Construction Law § 25-a date as an alternative. State-court closure Fridays (; June 18, December 24 and ) are flagged.
  • Florida: summary-judgment response (40 days after service) and earliest hearing date under Rule 1.510 as amended ; periods counted before a hearing under Rule 2.514(a)(5); holiday orders for the Second, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh and Thirteenth Circuits (applied) and the Twentieth (flagged).
  • Texas counties: Harris, Bexar, El Paso, Denton and Williamson schedules applied, including weather closures in January 2026; Dallas and Hidalgo closures flagged. Tarrant County’s proposed late-2027 days were removed because they were not adopted.
  • Federal districts: announced closures for nine more districts; the District of Maryland’s are applied because the court declared them legal holidays for FRCP 6, and the others are flagged.
  • Good Friday is now computed from the date of Easter, so it no longer depends on a published list.

Data version 2026.11.06-5 — November 6, 2026

  • Added Florida state-court rules: Rule 2.514 counting (periods under 7 days skip weekends and holidays; five mail days only when service is by mail alone), answers under Rule 1.140(a), and notices of appeal under Rule 9.110(b), with the Fla. Stat. § 110.117 holidays and the Sixth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Circuits’ holiday orders.
  • Added New York state-court rules: periods after service under CPLR 2103 (5 or 6 mail days, one business day for overnight delivery), answers under CPLR 320(a), and notices of appeal under CPLR 5513, with the General Construction Law § 24 public holidays. Federal courts in New York now apply those holidays to forward-counted periods.
  • California holidays in federal courts are now the judicial holidays of Code Civ. Proc. § 135 on their statutory dates. The Ninth Circuit has held that the day after Thanksgiving counts (Dwyer v. Duffy; Yepremyan v. Holder; Roe v. Rialto Unified School District); the other § 135 days follow the same reasoning. Government Code § 6700 days on which state courts are open, and rule 1.11 Friday observances, are no longer applied; a deadline that lands on one is flagged instead. Some forward-counted federal deadlines in California move later as a result (a period ending on the day after Thanksgiving now runs to the next Monday), and some move earlier.
  • Added court selection: announced closures for seven federal districts (flagged, because e-filing generally stayed open) and holiday schedules for Travis and Tarrant counties in Texas (applied, under Miller Brewing Co. v. Villarreal). Harris, Dallas and Bexar county closures are flagged until confirmed from the counties’ official pages.
  • Added federal notices of appeal in criminal cases (FRAP 4(b)), the 28-day post-judgment motions that toll the appeal time, the FRAP 4(a)(5) extension window, the Rule 16(b) scheduling order and the Rule 26(f) conference, report and initial disclosures, with links from each result to the deadline that usually follows.
  • Added periods stated in hours (FRCP 6(a)(2)) and limitations periods in years and months: California and Texas two-year personal injury limits and the six-month Federal Tort Claims Act suit deadline, reporting both accepted methods of counting months.
  • Texas: fax service completed after 5:00 p.m. is now deemed served the following day (TRCP 21a(b)(2)); electronic service has no time-of-day rule. The answer-deadline note now cites Proctor v. Green and Conaway v. Lopez for moving a Monday-holiday answer day to Tuesday; no dates change.
  • Loaded the official 2028 federal holiday list (OPM). California and Texas 2028 dates remain computed from statute.

Data version 2026.11.06-4 — November 6, 2026

  • Wording only: the federal note about inaccessible clerk’s offices now points to the form field for closed days. No dates change.

Data version 2026.11.06-3 — November 6, 2026

  • Wording only: federal calculators now ask “How was the paper served?”, “Where was the waiver request sent?” and “Is the United States a party?” instead of a generic question. No dates change.

Data version 2026.11.06-2 — November 6, 2026

  • Added the official 2026 and 2027 federal holiday lists published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, including as the observed New Year’s Day 2028.
  • Federal rules (FRCP 6, FRCP 12(a), FRAP 4) re-verified against the official rules published by the U.S. Courts; no amendments take effect through .
  • Added Texas rules: TRCP 4 periods after service and before a hearing, the Rule 99(b) answer deadline, and the justice court answer deadline under Rule 502.5. Each computes two readings of which Texas state holidays are legal holidays.
  • Added California and Texas state holidays as forum-state holidays for federal courts sitting in those states (FRCP 6(a)(6)(C)).

Data version 2026.11.06-1 — November 6, 2026

  • First release of the rules engine with federal and California rules.
  • California: response periods under Code of Civil Procedure §§ 12, 12a and 1013; court-day counts; motion deadlines under § 1005(b); summary-judgment deadlines under § 437c as amended by AB 2049.
  • California electronic service: the two-court-day extension of § 1010.6 applies to service through and ends on under AB 540 (Stats. 2026, ch. 263).
  • California judicial holidays for 2026 and 2027 from the Judicial Council, including Farmworkers Day on , plus under rule 1.11 of the California Rules of Court (as listed by the San Francisco Superior Court).
