Rendon, Texas is part of Tarrant County, and a process server can deliver citations, petitions, subpoenas and notices to vacate to Rendon addresses with an attempt within 5 business days, within 48 hours or within 24 hours. A signed Return of Service, emailed to you, backs every delivery. Rendon covers 24.6 square miles yet is an unincorporated community, a Census-designated place of 13,533 residents in 2020 with no city government, so its cases go to Tarrant County courts in Fort Worth.

Eviction Notices in Rendon: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
Under the law for suits filed from January 1, 2026, a Rendon landlord delivers written notice to vacate first: at least three days, unless a lease or written agreement sets another period, or a notice to pay rent or vacate for nonpayment. Mail, placement inside in plain view, hand delivery to a tenant 16 or older, or agreed electronic delivery all qualify. Weekends and holidays count; a deadline on one moves to the next business day.
A private server can deliver the notice. After the sworn petition, only the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office or a constable may serve the eviction citation, and if 5 business days pass without service the landlord can seek an alias citation for another qualified officer.
Divorce Papers, Citations and Substituted Service for Rendon Defendants
The respondent is served by personal delivery of the citation and petition, or registered or certified mail with return receipt requested. When that fails, a Rule 106(b) motion supported by a sworn or penalty-of-perjury statement of the respondent's probable location and the attempts made can win an order permitting delivery to anyone over 16 there, or email or social media. Without it, no citation may be left with a relative or on a door. Read the Rule 106(b) guide.
Corporations are served through a registered agent, president or vice president. A default judgment requires the return to be on file ten days, not counting the filing or judgment day.
