Determining the File Stamp Time and Date

TRCP Rule 21.(f) (5) states that:
A document is considered timely filed if it is electronically filed at any time before midnight (in the court's time zone) on the filing deadline. An electronically filed document is deemed filed when transmitted to the filing party's electronic filing service provider, except:
(A) if a document is transmitted on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it is deemed filed on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday;
and
(B) if a document requires a motion and an order allowing its filing. it is deemed filed on the date the motion is granted

 In other words, the instant you click the Submit when eFiling determines the File Stamp time and date subject to the exceptions listed above.
