Credit Card Debt Lawsuit, Texas

[deepinn]

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

I am being sued for Old Credit Card debt which has not completed its SOL yet, couple of months left for the SOL to expire. I have not been served yet.

Now my question is:

1. Can the default judgement be entered against me if I am not served?
2. "Dismissal Hearing" is already scheduled, so what happens if I don't go to the hearing in the basis of unserved notice? Can they have default judgement against me for not showing up?
2. What options do plaintiff have to serve me for debt greater than $5000? Do they have to serve me in person?
3. They sued me in county where I don't live anymore, so is it advisable to file for motion for out of jurisdiction before I am served?
4. What happens if the lawsuit is dropped in the old county because of out of jurisdiction and they file lawsuit against me in the current county where I live now, same state? Does the SOL starts clicking as soon they drop the case or does it stand still at the first lawsuit date they filed?

Thanks for you reply,
