We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How long does it take to subpoena a phone?

Telecom providers generally take 2 to 4 weeks to process subpoenas, depending on their workload and the complexity of the records requested. Requests for detailed data, such as text message logs or location information, may take longer to fulfill.

What makes a subpoena invalid?

If the notice period is too short, the subpoena may be considered invalid. Insufficient specificity: The subpoena must clearly specify the documents or information being requested. A vague or overly broad subpoena can be challenged and potentially invalidated.

Can you serve a subpoena by phone?

While serving a subpoena by phone is not standard practice, the process may involve communications over the phone.

What is the rule 176 in Texas?

A subpoena must command the person to whom it is directed to do either or both of the following: (a) attend and give testimony at a deposition, hearing, or trial; (b) produce and permit inspection and copying of designated documents or tangible things in the possession, custody, or control of that person.

How do I respond to a civil summons in Texas?

File (turn in) your completed answer form with the court. To file online, go to E-File Texas and follow the instructions. And you can read TexasLawHelps How to E-File. To file in person, take your answer (and copies) to the district clerks office in the county where the plaintiff filed the case.

What happens if you cant serve someone a subpoena?

Alternative methods of service: If the person attempting to serve court papers is unable to locate or serve the defendant, the court may allow alternative methods of service, such as publication in a newspaper or post on the defendants door.

Can you serve your own subpoena?

For one, subpoenas can only be served by sheriffs, constables, deputies, court clerks, or process servers. Other adults over 18 may serve a subpoena if they are not involved in the case and as long as they have a written order from the court giving them permission.

How long do you have to respond to a subpoena in Texas?

A person or entity served with a deposition on written questions in State court has a minimum of 20 days to respond. See TRCP 200.1(a). An agency will almost always be required to comply with a grand jury subpoena because these proceedings are secret.
