What is Private Process Serving and why hire us?

When a person chooses to take legal action against another, they’re required by law to inform the other party immediately. Every state has distinct rules and regulations that govern this process.

There are many rules and requirements for serving legal papers on a party. A process server knows the rules and requirements for delivering legal documents correctly under the law. So, how are papers served in Texas?

Process servers deliver various documents in a legal action. They may serve documents on witnesses, defendants, plaintiffs, and other parties to the action. Examples of legal documents that a process server might deliver to a party include, but are not limited to:

  • Summons

  • Complaint

  • Subpoena

  • Court Order

Texas requires process servers to be certified. The state has established a Code of Ethics that all certified process servers must follow.

Why hire private rather than a sheriff?

  1. Speed of serve- The Sheriff’s department has such a vast area of responsibilities that process serving typically goes to the bottom of their list. However with a private server you have 100% of our attention because this is what we do. Our turnaround is typically in less than 7 days. The sheriff will most likely take weeks to months due to the number of responsibilities they have, this can tie up your case longer than you want. Also, they normally serve only during business hours when most people are not home. HMPPS however can serve in the early morning hours and late in the evening when we know most people are home.

  2. Customer Service- You will be able to reach me at any time to discuss your serve, I also will give detailed updates on each attempt as well as videos and pictures

  3. FREE e-filing! I will e-file your service affidavit or return at NO extra charge!
