Perezville is a compact Hidalgo County community of about 0.8 square miles, and a process server in Texas can deliver citations, subpoenas, petitions and notices to vacate to its residents. Attempts come within 5 business days on Standard, 48 hours on Rush or 24 hours on 24-Hour Service, followed by a signed Return of Service by email. Perezville is unincorporated, a Census-designated place of 2,685 people with no city government, so Hidalgo County runs its courts and law enforcement.
