Process server in Austin. Same-day available. $99 standard.
California-licensed servers covering Austin (975K residents). AI extracts the parties + address from your complaint; a licensed server attempts service same-day in most cases; a human reviewer signs off the proof of service before it hits your inbox.
Service of process in Austin is governed by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 106 (personal service) + 107 (return). Travis County District Courts (civil + family) sit in the Heman Sweatt Courthouse downtown. Austin tech-corridor service density (Apple, Tesla, Indeed, Bumble HQs) skews toward registered-agent + corporate service; the East Austin + South Lamar residential mix needs evening + weekend attempts.
Local court reference
Most filings in Travis County go to the Superior Court below. We file and serve here daily.
Austin-specific service challenges
Our servers and ops team know the local quirks. A few of the recurring ones:
Tesla Gigafactory + Apple campus — restricted-access campuses require advance scheduling
Music-festival weeks (SXSW, ACL) — congestion adds 2x to drive times; we batch around them
East Austin gentrification — registered owner ≠ resident; skip-trace before substituted service
Lake Austin + Westlake gated communities — concierge intercept common
What we serve in Austin
Civil summons + petition (TRCP 99)
Tech-industry commercial disputes dominate — IP, employment, equity vesting. Most volume is district court (unlimited).
Family law (SAPCR + dissolution)
Suits Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship + divorce petitions. TFC §6.405 requires personal or substituted service.
Eviction (3-day notice, TPC §24.005)
Travis Justice Courts handle eviction; we use the right notice form for the right cause (non-payment vs. holdover) and document the posting.
Protective orders (TFC §85)
Hearing-bound. Same-day service standard. We coordinate with APD if respondent has a firearm-prohibitor.
Subpoenas (tech-IP discovery)
TRCP 176. Corporate registered agents in Austin metro for most Fortune-500 tech defendants.
Average turnaround
Same-day attempts in 86% of Austin-metro cases ordered before 11am Central. 3-attempt TRCP 106 diligence within 5 business days. Return of Service filed within 48 hours of service.

Austin FAQ
Do you serve in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Bee Cave?
Yes — full Travis + Williamson coverage. Williamson County's district courts sit in Georgetown; we file there as well as in Travis. Most suburb addresses are 30 minutes from downtown Austin and don't add cost.
Can you handle Apple / Tesla / Oracle campus service?
We coordinate with each campus's security in advance — same-day landing rate is 89% for employees on-campus during a known shift. For executives, registered-agent service at the company's RA address (usually in Austin or Plano for TX RA) is faster + legally equivalent for corporate matters.
How does TX TRCP 106(b) substituted service differ from CCP §415.20?
TRCP 106(b) substituted service requires a motion + court order — you cannot self-execute substitute service after 3 attempts the way CA permits. We document diligent attempts in an affidavit, you file the 106(b) motion, the court orders the substitute method (leave at residence, post on door, etc.), and we then execute.
What about service at the State Capitol (legislators, state officers)?
Texas Capitol service has its own protocol — DPS troopers at the security desk accept service for legislators in session per House/Senate rules. We have the legislative-session protocol documented and coordinate with the Sergeant-at-Arms when needed.
