Non-record municipal courts require a one-day deadline to request a new trial.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only in capital cases
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

The time to seek post-trial relief in Texas isn’t fixed to one day in non-record municipal courts. Deadlines for a motion for new trial or for appealing to the county court are set by the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and local rules, and they are measured from the judgment or sentence date, not a universal one-day limit. Because non-record courts don’t produce a transcript, parties pursue the appropriate post-trial remedy within the statutory window, often through a motion for new trial in the municipal court or a trial-de-novo appeal to the county court, with deadlines defined by statute. So the statement about a one-day deadline is not correct.
