The Justice Court Appeal Rules sheet posted by JP Precinct 1 Place 2 (April 2026 edition, captured from the court's own page): the TRCP 506.1 appeal-perfection requirements from justice court to the County Courts at Law — bond amounts and the 21-day window, filing fees, and the inability-to-pay alternative; the composition also carries the court's Repair & Remedy appeal sheet (Rule 509.8): 21-day written notice of appeal, enforcement stayed on timely notice with no bond required, appellant pays county-court costs, the $64 justice-court appeal fee, and the County Clerk's 20-day fee window.
Texas > Dallas County > Justice of the Peace Precinct 1 Place 2 (small claims and debt claims appeals; sibling copies of this sheet post on other precinct pages — each precinct's posted edition receipted at its own custody row)
Reviewer note: Own-site procedure sheet composed verbatim from custody bytes; the precinct's July 2024 small-claims edition and other precincts' copies remain in custody as siblings — the JP family's per-precinct instruction composition continues in the JP batch; the companion RepairandRemedy-AppealInfo2026.pdf sheet is composed in (custody sha in the crawl ledger), and the July 2024 editions of the appeal-rules sheet (three hosted copies, 2,086 bytes) are receipted as the superseded prior edition of the composed April 2026 text.
A civil notice of appeal is due 30 days after the judgment is signed — extended to 90 days by a timely motion for new trial, motion to modify, motion to reinstate, or proper findings request; accelerated appeals allow only 20 days; restricted appeals six months; and any other party may appeal within 14 days after the first notice.
Justice Court Precinct 1, Place 1's posted appeal instructions (Hon. Thomas G. Jones): appeals to the County Court at Law where the amount in controversy exceeds $250, the Rule 506.1 bond regime (21-day deadline; defendant's bond at twice the judgment with approved sureties; plaintiff's $500 bond), the $64 justice-court appeal filing fee with the County Clerk's 21-day fee requirement, and the statement-of-inability alternative with its 7-day contest window.
