Re: Writ of Certiorari
If you're talking about Ceriorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, then your petition must be filed within 90 days after the Texas Supreme Court either (1) enters judgement, or (2) denies review. (See U.S. Supreme Court rule 13.1.)
If you're referring to a proceeding within Texas that goes by the same name, then I can't help; I'm not a Texas lawyer and I don't know about your state's procedures.
