(a) Petition. Unless the Supreme Court orders an earlier filing deadline, the petition must be filed with the Supreme Court clerk within 45 days after the following:
-
(1) the date the court of appeals rendered judgment, if no motion for rehearing or en banc reconsideration is timely filed; or
-
(2) the date of the court of appeals’ last ruling on all timely filed motions for rehearing or en banc reconsideration.
(b) Premature Filing. A petition filed before the last ruling on all timely filed motions for rehearing and en banc reconsideration is treated as having been filed on the date of, but after, the last ruling on any such motion. If a party files a petition for review while a motion for rehearing or en banc reconsideration is pending in the court of appeals, the party must include that information in its petition for review.
(c) Petitions Filed by Other Parties. If a party files a petition for review within the time specified in 53.7(a) — or within the time specified by the Supreme Court in an order granting an extension of time to file a petition — any other party required to file a petition may do so within 45 days after the last timely motion for rehearing or en banc reconsideration is overruled or within 30 days after any preceding petition is filed, whichever date is later.
(d) Response. Any response must be filed with the Supreme Court clerk within 30 days after the petition is filed.
(e) Reply. Any reply must be filed with the Supreme Court clerk within 15 days after the response is filed.
(f) Extension of Time. The Supreme Court may extend the time to file a petition for review if a party files a motion complying with Rule 10.5(b) no later than 15 days after the last day for filing the petition. The Supreme Court may extend the time to file a response or reply if a party files a motion complying with Rule 10.5(b) either before or after the response or reply is due.
(g) Petition Filed in Court of Appeals. If a petition is mistakenly filed in the court of appeals, the petition is deemed to have been filed the same day with the Supreme Court clerk, and the court of appeals clerk must immediately send the petition to the Supreme Court clerk.
