The
state of Texas recently joined other states that are raising the bar
on qualifications of process servers to preserve the integrity of
the judicial system and protect citizens being served.
Until recently, there was no regulation of civil process servers
in the state of Texas, but a recent amendment to the Texas Rules
of Civil Procedure by the Texas Supreme Court has changed that.
The new rules require aspiring process servers to obtain certification
from an authorized training facility and undergo a background check
in order to serve process throughout the state. Before that, almost
anyone could be a process server.
Attorneys in states who are mandating higher qualifications for
process servers may, in the short term, be in a bind trying to identify
and schedule certified professional process servers.
Across the U.S. successful legal firms in the know have learned
to rely upon DepoNet’s nationwide network of trained, skilled
process servers who can meet the newly-enacted standards.
“Our process serving members are engaged every day by the
