How long will my appeal take?

This question has no general answer. Each case is different. Many factors can determine how long it takes to resolve an appeal in a criminal case in Texas. The length of time required for your case will depend on the nature of the charges you faced at the trial level, what kind of issues you are raising on appeal, and how busy the court’s schedule is when you file your appeal. Typically, it can take several months and quite possibly more than a year.
