A subpoena is an official legal order that compels an individual or organization to appear in court or to provide documents, data, or other evidence that is deemed relevant to a legal case. The legal authority for subpoenas derives from statutes or court rules, which determine the scope of a subpoena and the conditions for its validity. Subpoenas play a crucial role in the discovery process of a legal case, as they enable parties to obtain evidence that might be necessary to establish their claims or defenses.
However, in order to be effective, a subpoena must be appropriately prepared, served, and delivered in compliance with the applicable legal standards and practices. Improperly prepared or served subpoenas may be challenged or even quashed by the court, which can result in delays, additional costs, or even the loss of the case. As such, it is imperative that subpoenas are prepared and executed properly and in a timely manner, in accordance with the rules and regulations that govern the jurisdiction where the case is pending. Working with experienced legal professionals who have a deep understanding of the rules and procedures surrounding subpoenas can help to ensure the subpoenas process is conducted properly.
Once the subpoena has been drafted, it must be properly served on the appropriate party or individual. The subpoena must be served in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations for the jurisdiction where the case is pending.

Kathy and her team went above and beyond to provide around the clock trial support services for our team during our month long stay in Waco. Her amazing team handled our printing requests, managed our team’s daily transport to/from our hotel to the courthouse, assisted with warroom equipment/furniture rentals, and not once did she or her team complain of the grueling hours and stress that comes with this line of work. Her team was very knowledgeable of the WDTX local rules and the Court system in general. I was impressed that they were personally greeted by the Marshalls when they accompanied me on location with my materials, and I knew I was in good hands. She was an extension of my team, and she provided great work product. I highly recommend CTL Services, and look forward to working with them again.

Dependable and Trustworthy, those are just two words that I would use to describe Centex Litigation. No matter the time of day (or night) I know that I can reach out to Kathy, Brenda, Mark, or any member of their team and receive the upmost quality and professionalism. They are the first people I think of when I need anything to do with service, copies, or even record retrieval. They truly are a one-stop-shop. Even if it is not something they provide, they will take the time to help you find what you are looking for. I could not be more pleased with the quality and care of service I have received from them.
We will always be a customer of Centex Litigation
