Rule 297: Time to Send Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

Within twenty days after a timely request is filed, the court must send its findings of fact and conclusions of law to the parties as provided in Rule 21(f)(10).

If the court fails to send timely findings of fact and conclusions of law, the party making the request must, within thirty days after filing the original request, file with the clerk and serve on all other parties in accordance with Rule 21a a “Notice of Past Due Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” which must be immediately called to the attention of the court by the clerk. Such notice must state the date the original request was filed and the date the findings and conclusions were due. Upon filing this notice, the time for the court to send findings of fact and conclusions of law is extended to forty days from the date the original request was filed.
