File a Request for Citation by Posting
In Texas, a Request for Citation by Posting is a legal request made by a plaintiff to the court when they are unable to locate or personally serve the defendant in a lawsuit. This request is used in situations where the defendant's whereabouts are unknown, or they are intentionally avoiding service. If the court grants the request, the plaintiff can post a copy of the citation or summons at the courthouse or another designated location, as specified by the court.
This method of service is considered a last resort to provide the defendant with notice of the lawsuit, allowing the legal proceedings to move forward even if the defendant cannot be served in the traditional manner.
