(a) Computing time. In computing any period of time
prescribed or allowed by these rules, by order of the board, or by
any applicable statute, the period shall begin on the day after the
act, event, or default in controversy and conclude on the last day
of such computed period, unless it be a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next
day that is neither a Saturday, nor Sunday, nor legal holiday (as
defined by §662.021 of the Texas Government Code, as amended),
nor a TMRS holiday as designated on the website for the system (www.tmrs.com).
(b) Extensions. Unless otherwise provided by statute,
the time for filing any application or other form may be extended
by order of the director, upon written motion duly filed with the
director prior to the expiration of the applicable period of time
for the filing of the same, showing that there is good cause for such
extension of time and that the need is not caused by the neglect,
indifference, or lack of diligence of the movant. A copy of any such
motion shall be served upon all other parties of record to the proceeding
contemporaneously with filing the motion.
