.
In a Texas divorce, a "waiver of service" is a document the
non-filing spouse signs to acknowledge receipt of the divorce
papers, thereby bypassing formal delivery by a constable or
process server. This expedites the process but does not imply
agreement with the divorce terms; rather, it indicates
awareness of the proceedings. The non-filing spouse retains the
right to respond to safeguard their interests. Rules for
waivers vary by location, so consulting with a lawyer or the
court where you're filing is advisable.
