Inputs stay in this tab’s memory. No account, upload, POST form or saving of these tool inputs. Reloading clears them. The separate original checklist saves checkmarks only.
Do not use this as your legal deadline. The checkbox does not screen every exception. The tool cannot decide whether either statute applies. A city may require earlier notice; policy notice is a different clock.

How to use the result
Use this as an organizing aid, then read the linked playbook and original official source. Do not enter names, policy identifiers, plates, medical details or a crash narrative here. There is no claim submission, lawyer matching or case review.
What the statutes actually say
Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003(a) provides a general two-year period after accrual for specified claims, including personal injury and injury to property, with named exceptions. Accrual is not determined here. Sections 16.001 and 16.072 address disability and final-day weekend/holiday issues. This tool applies none of those legal adjustments.
Section 101.101(a) gives a general six-month government claim-notice period after an incident; subsection (b) recognizes lawful city charter and ordinance notice provisions, which can be shorter. Subsection (c)’s actual-notice issue is not decided by this tool. A police report is not automatically legally sufficient notice.
Calendar method: add the stated calendar months using UTC date arithmetic, clamp a nonexistent month-day to that month’s last day and display the ISO calendar date. This is a transparent arithmetic convention, not a conclusion about legally required counting, service, accrual or extensions. February 29 and month-end dates need particular care. Obtain individual advice well before any potentially applicable period.
