processor

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

If a processor leaves a note on your door with his phone number asking you to call him so he can serve you are you obligated to call looking for him?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Ignoring process servers is petty, silly and pointless. If you continue to evade service on a lawsuit against you, then you may be served by mail or publication. If you continue to ignore them, you may find yourself losing the lawsuit by default.

What do you hope to gain by sticking your head in the sand?

Nope - you're under no obligation to call. Of course, they can just find an alternate method of service...one that may leave you in the dark and wind up with you having a default judgment against you.

Me, I'd call. But, it's your choice.


ETA:
Yeah - what SRG said!

people...if someone is WRONGFULLY served and is given an automatic judgement. the defendent can prove the wrongful service and get that judgement reversed and have their day in court.

however, it is in your best interest to be properly served. would you want the processor finding you at church, or at work or at a nice picinic lunch out with your family and serving you in public?? YES, they can serve you at any location they find you at.

What methods are legal that leave people in the dark (except in New York where the process service laws are insanely stupid)?
