Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – College Station lists its Health Information Management Department at 700 Scott & White Dr, College Station, TX 77845, in Brazos County. Subpoenas for this hospital's patient records, along with depositions on written questions to its custodian, are delivered to that department. When the lawsuit that needs these records is pending in another state, Texas adds a clerk step before anything can be served, and this page walks through it.
Pricing and Turnaround
Pick a tier by deadline. Standard Service, $69, schedules the attempt within 5 business days. Rush Service, $119, schedules it within 48 hours. With 24-Hour Service, $169, the attempt is within 24 hours. A subpoena is billed at the plain tier price. The $100 fee is only for a Texas state-court citation or summons, which has to be served by a sheriff, constable or certified process server; at the Standard tier such a citation totals $169. Your signed Rule 107 return of service comes by email after delivery. The pricing page has the details, and the order form accepts the subpoena and any notice.
What Can Be Served Here
For an out-of-state case, Rule 201.3 sets the path: submit the foreign subpoena to the clerk of a district or county court in Brazos County, the county where the records are; the clerk must promptly issue a Texas subpoena that incorporates its terms; and that Texas subpoena is then served under Rules 176 and 205. Submitting the subpoena is not an appearance in a Texas court, though the clerk step itself is required; check local filing practice with the clerk and the lawyer on the case. Once a Texas subpoena exists, Rule 176.5 lets a sheriff, a constable or any non-party 18 or older serve it anywhere in the state by delivering a copy and tendering the fees the law requires: $1 to a custodian who produces or certifies records (CPRC 22.004(a)), and $10 for each day a witness must attend, paid by the summoning party at service (CPRC 22.001).
Before You Send Papers
Rule 205.2 still applies to a domesticated subpoena: the notice goes to the hospital and to all parties at least 10 days before the subpoena compelling production is served. Make sure the Texas subpoena names this hospital, "Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – College Station," and not only the system. Premises inspections are outside Rule 201.3 and still need a court order, so a request to inspect rather than to produce records is a different job.
