Parkland Memorial Hospital's Release of Information office is at 5200 Harry Hines Blvd, 1st floor, Suite 01-603, Dallas, TX 75235, in Dallas County. Parkland's own medical records page says that legal requestors, including criminal subpoenas, notary subpoenas and other process servers, make their requests in person at this office. That makes it the natural destination for a civil records subpoena or a deposition on written questions directed to Parkland's custodian of records.
Pricing and Turnaround
Three tiers apply, and the choice is about speed. With Standard Service at $69, the attempt happens within 5 business days. Rush Service costs $119 and gets an attempt within 48 hours, and 24-Hour Service costs $169 for an attempt within 24 hours. Subpoenas sit at those regular prices. The extra $100 fee is reserved for Texas state-court citations and summonses, which the state requires a sheriff, constable or certified process server to serve; a citation at the Standard tier, for example, comes to $169. A signed Rule 107 return of service reaches you by email after delivery. Compare the tiers on the pricing page and send the subpoena through the order form.
What Can Be Served Here
A subpoena is the paper that belongs here. In Texas, a subpoena may be served anywhere in the state by a sheriff or constable or by any person 18 or older who is not a party, and it is served by delivering a copy to the witness along with any fees the law requires (Rule 176.5). For a custodian who produces or certifies records under the subpoena, that fee is $1 (CPRC 22.004(a)). A witness who must actually appear is owed $10 per day of attendance, paid at the time of service by the party who issued the subpoena (CPRC 22.001), and a witness living within 150 miles of the county where the suit is pending may be subpoenaed (CPRC 22.002). If the subpoena comes from a court outside Texas, it first goes to the clerk of a district or county court in Dallas County, who issues a Texas subpoena under Rule 201.3; confirm that step with the clerk and the lawyer on the case.
Before You Send Papers
Parkland's page says it will not release records without a written request from the patient, a parent of a minor patient or a legal representative, and that it asks requestors for a copy of a valid photo ID, so plan for the subpoena or a signed authorization to do that work. Under Rule 205.2, serve notice on Parkland and on all parties at least 10 days before the subpoena compelling production goes out. Mailed requests are a separate track: Parkland lists Health Information Management at 5151 Maple Avenue, Suite 05-1164, Dallas, for those.
