Texas state-court citations and summonses carry an additional $100 fee because only a sheriff, constable, certified process server or court-authorized adult may serve them under TRCP 103. The pricing page spells this out, and the order form is where you upload the papers. Cameron County constables and the sheriff also serve process, charging fees the commissioners court sets under Local Government Code 118.131; a private server is simply a different option.
Who May Serve Papers in Cameron Park: Certified Servers, Constables and Court Orders
Under Rule 103, sheriffs, constables and others authorized by law qualify, as do adults 18 or older authorized by law or written court order, and process servers certified by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission. A party to the case, or anyone interested in how it turns out, cannot. The Cameron County Sheriff's Office is the law enforcement agency for the community, and under Rule 510.8(d) its deputies and the Cameron County constables are the only ones who may serve an eviction citation.

Eviction Notices in Cameron Park: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
Texas eviction law changed for suits filed on or after January 1, 2026. A landlord must still give at least three days' written notice to vacate unless the lease sets a different period, but now it goes by mail, by delivery to a conspicuous place inside the premises, by hand to any tenant 16 or older, or electronically when agreed in writing. A private server can hand-deliver it. The landlord then files a sworn petition in the justice court of the precinct where the property sits. Only a sheriff or constable serves that citation, and after 5 business days unserved the landlord may seek an alias citation for another qualified officer.
Divorce Papers, Citations and Substituted Service for Cameron Park Defendants
Divorce papers for a Cameron Park spouse are handed over in person or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. If that does not work, a sworn statement naming where the spouse can probably be found and describing each try can support a Rule 106(b) order, perhaps allowing delivery to an adult over 16 at the home or by email. A default judgment cannot follow until the return has been on file ten days.
