Basics Updated October 22, 2026 ledouying

## Typical acceptance window

Same day to a few business days, depending on how the certificate is delivered.

## What causes delays

Form mismatch, wrong address, insufficient coverage. All three are fixable before submission.

### If you have a hard deadline

Confirm receipt by phone. Do not rely on a submission notification alone.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I check the status myself?

Usually yes, through the agency’s public records request process.

### Does tracking help?

A tracking number shows delivery, not acceptance. They are different things.

### What if the deadline has passed?

File immediately and contact the agency the same day to explain.

Key Information

Short Answer (40-80 words): Most FJ-60 filings in Texas are accepted the same day or within one to three business days. Delays almost always come from a form number mismatch, the wrong filing branch, or coverage below the required limit — not from the agency being slow. If you have a court deadline, request electronic delivery and confirm receipt before the deadline passes.
