As Chyvan stated, you need to stop saying it was you who made this decision. You were following the instructions of TWC. If you found it online or someone said it during the interview, that is where you got the instructions. So that needs to be the last time you utter the words "I thought"!

Did you present all the pay-stubs at the hearing clearly showing the week each one covered? If not, that is why it's being based solely on what the employer said as actual filing with the state is by quarters, not actual dates. Your former employer told them it covered the earlier period (which is legitimate) but the checks would have to show that also. If you did present all the pay-stubs and they did show the actual dates they covered which showed the later dates, the Judge goofed. They should have accepted your version which was based on factual evidence. It may have been grounds for a BOR appeal.
But, the end game is to get your benefits with minimal hassles and delay, so follow what Chyvan suggest.
