Is to late to hire a lawyer toappeal

Hello, Generally speaking, you have 5 days from the date the eviction judgment was signed to appeal it to the County Court or County Court at Law. You must also post a bond or file a statement of inability to post bond. Once at the County Court, you will have a "trial de novo" which essentially means a brand new trial from scratch. Note that while your appeal is pending, you must continue to pay rent if you are staying at the rental property. For more information, the following links are very helpful: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/landlord-tenant-law/appealing-an-eviction  https://texaslawhelp.org/article/appealing-an-eviction  If you believe that you may still need to appeal it or if the grounds for your eviction are more complicated than non-payment of rent, I strongly suggest you hire an attorney to handle the appeal as the rules of evidence and procedures are more strict in County Court than in the Justice Court where the original eviction is done. Best wishes, James M. Ringel
