How to serve the process in Austin?
To serve process in Austin, you must know the Texas rules of civil procedure.
A Private Process Server will deliver court paper to the respondent, complete a Return of Service form which indicates when and where a respondent was served and files the completed Return of Service with the court to send it to be filed with the court.
The Service by Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested will be able to mail the court papers to the respondent via certified mail, return receipt request, will complete a Return of Service form as long as the return receipt is signed by the clerk, and be able to file it with the court or send the Return of Service to be filed by you.
Service by Posting is a method used when the process server cannot find the respondent unless children are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a process server can't serve you in Austin?
- Asking the judge for permission to serve the respondent may be eligible if and only if those who are eligible have tried to serve the respondent in person. One can also be eligible if it has not been certified by mail. If these can prove that the respond is found in a location where they reside or works in a location where the event took place.
- You must file a motion for substituted service from a private processor. A judge may only sign the order for a substituted service if and only if the respondednt has convinced the judge where the service has taken place.
- An Order of Substituted Service authorizes eligible people to leave a copy of court papers with anyone over 16 at the location specified in the affidavit and can authorize service in any form.
- You may also convince the judge through proof from social media, but this is a tricky alternative as social media may have privacy issues. This can mean that not anything on the internet is not believable, thus it cannot prove that a respondent may receive a notification for service of process. You must ensure that you are able to verify the respondent’s social media information to prove this to the judge. Otherwise, this will not be eligible.

What Attorneys Say
Here’s some feedback we’ve received from law firms all over the United States.
Bryan Crone
My office has used Austin Process exclusively since at least 2017. We do a moderate regular volume of business with them each year across several Texas counties and they have handled the ~90% of our straightforward service needs and the ~10% that are more complex equally well. The small staff is friendly and responsive and on the very few occasions when I’ve had something particularly out of the ordinary, Mike has personally ensured it’s taken care of. We’ve had a very good customer experience working exclusively with Austin Process for several years now and I would certainly recommend using them for any service needs throughout the State of Texas.

I am a senior paralegal and our firm uses Austin Process for service. They are such an awesome group of people who are kind, professional, prompt, courteous and so much more. They quickly respond to my emails in a timely and courteous manner. Thank you to Delaney, Whitley, Marie and all of you who make Austin Process a wonderful company. I highly recommend them to any company that is needing someone served or for any of their services.

I have used Austin Process LLC for many years with tremendous success. Each time, the representatives who helped me were outstanding. They took time to work with me and their response time was amazing! Their service platform excels all others — they genuinely care.
Last week, I had to have personal service on a very challenging Respondent. Two years ago, I chased the same Respondent (seriously) for 3 months. I was not optimistic when I learned he had moved out of state. This was not a problem for Austin Process LLC who have nationwide capabilities. I sent a large package of documents to Austin Process LLC and I hoped for the best. Well this may sound amazing but the Respondent was personally served in 51 minutes. I was able to file the Affidavit of Service with the Court the same day.
There are no words to express my gratitude to the entire team at Austin Process LLC. You are truly best in class for customer service, customer satisfaction and for genuinely caring about not only about this case but every one I have brought you over the years. Thank you!

In my almost 40 years of practicing law, Austin Process is by far the best process server I have ever used. They are always quick to respond to my emails and they provide regular updates on the jobs they are doing for me. They work all over the US so we no longer have to research out of town process servers when we need someone served outside of the central Texas area. I cannot say enough good things about them.
