Who May Serve Papers in Greenville: Certified Servers, Constables and Court Orders
Plenty of people ask whether a neighbor, relative or coworker can drop off a citation. Under Rule 103, a person with an interest in the lawsuit may not. People who may serve include sheriffs and constables and other persons authorized by law, adults 18 or older who are named in a written court order, and process servers certified by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission. Read the certification guide for how that works.
Where Greenville Cases Are Filed: Justice Court, County Court and District Court
The Hunt County Courthouse stands at 2507 Lee Street, Greenville, TX 75401, about 1.9 miles from Greenville's center, and Greenville is the county seat. Justice court is where civil claims up to $20,000 (excluding interest) and evictions go; divorce is outside its reach. County courts handle claims over $200 up to $20,000 as well. Statutory county courts share civil cases over $500 up to $325,000 with district courts. A justice court precinct is fixed by the address in dispute, and the justice court clerk can confirm it. See the Hunt County page.
Eviction Notices in Greenville: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
For a Greenville rental, the notice to vacate is the opening move, and it must give at least three days unless the lease or agreement changes that. The tenant may receive it by mail, inside the premises in a conspicuous place, by hand if the tenant is 16 or older, or electronically if agreed in writing. Calendar days count, so weekends and holidays are included, but a final day on one pushes the deadline to the next business day. Next comes a sworn petition in justice court. Hand delivery of the notice is something a private server may do. Only a sheriff or constable can serve the eviction citation, and the landlord can request an alias citation if 5 business days pass after filing.
Divorce Papers, Citations and Substituted Service for Greenville Defendants
Divorce papers go to the spouse personally or by return-receipt registered or certified mail. If those routes fail, Rule 106(b) lets the court approve another way once it has a motion and a sworn statement naming likely locations and describing what was tried. That might mean leaving the papers with someone over 16 or using email or social media. Companies have registered agents, and a corporation's president or vice president counts too, with the Secretary of State as a backstop. Default judgment must wait until proof of service has been on file ten days. The 106(b) guide has more.
