(a) Due dates and time periods for filings and notices required under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act shall be computed as follows.
- (1) Computing a period of days. In counting a period of time measured by days, the first day is excluded and the last day is included.
- (2) Computing a period of months. If a number of months is to be computed by counting the months from a particular day, the period ends on the same numerical day in the concluding month as the day of the month from which the computation is begun, unless there are not that many days in the concluding month, in which case the period ends on the last day of that month.
- (3) If the last day of any period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the period is extended to include the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
- (b) This rule does not apply to the computation of periods of entitlement to benefits. (Periods of entitlement to benefits are computed in accordance with specific rules on benefits set forth in Chapters 126, 132, 133, and 136 of this title (relating to Benefits--General Provisions Applicable to All Benefits; Benefits--Death and Burial Benefits; Medical Benefits--General Medical Provisions; and Benefits--Vocational Rehabilitation)).
