Answer:

A certified record of a court proceeding documents the contents of a court file. If a record shows additional amounts accrued on a judgment, Texas statutes may allow these amounts. According to Texas law, postjudgment interest on a money judgment starts accruing from the date the judgment is rendered until it is satisfied (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 304.005). However, if a case is appealed and an extension to file a brief is granted to a claimant, interest does not accrue during that extension period.

If you believe the court modified the judgment amount incorrectly or without due process, you may need to petition the court for clarification or modification of the judgment.
