Where Robstown Cases Are Filed: Justice Court, County Court and District Court
Corpus Christi is the Nueces County seat. The Nueces County Courthouse stands at 901 Leopard Street, Corpus Christi, TX 78401, about 16.4 miles from Robstown in a straight line. Civil claims up to $20,000 (excluding interest) and evictions go to justice court, not divorces. County courts accept claims from over $200 up to $20,000 and civil cases from over $500 up to $325,000 may be heard by a statutory county court or a district court. The justice court clerk is the person to ask about an address's precinct. See the Nueces County page.
Eviction Notices in Robstown: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
In Robstown, a landlord who wants a tenant gone must first serve a written notice to vacate, and there is a built-in waiting period. The tenant gets three days at least, unless the lease or agreement says otherwise. The notice may be mailed, left in a conspicuous spot inside the premises, handed to a tenant 16 or older, or sent electronically when both sides agreed in writing. Weekend and holiday days are counted, and a final day on one extends to the next business day. After the wait, the landlord's sworn petition goes to justice court. A private server can deliver the notice but cannot serve the eviction citation, which a sheriff or constable must, and an alias citation may be requested after 5 business days.
Divorce Papers, Citations and Substituted Service for Robstown Defendants
A Robstown spouse sued for divorce should receive the citation and petition by hand or by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested. If neither works, the plaintiff may take the Rule 106(b) route, asking the court for another method with a sworn statement of likely locations and earlier attempts. The judge could approve leaving papers with someone over 16, or using email or social media. To serve a business, look to its registered agent, then a corporate president or vice president, then the Secretary of State. A default judgment cannot be signed until proof of service has been on file ten days. The Rule 106(b) guide explains.
