Findings not necessary? Deadline not extended.

Findings of fact and conclusions of law are often requested in cases where they are not strictly required. There may be good tactical reasons for such a request, but it will not affect the appellate deadlines unless the findings and conclusions are in fact required. “A request for findings of fact and conclusions of law will extend the time for perfecting an appeal if they are required by the rules of civil procedure or may properly be considered by the appellate court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(4). . . . ). A request for findings of fact and conclusions of law following a summary judgment is not appropriate and does not extend appellate deadlines.” Bosh v. Bosh, No.  See Linwood v. NCNB Tex., 885 S.W.2d 102, 103 (Tex. 1994) (per curiam).
