Effective, April 1, 2022, the 17th District Court will have additional Court Officers available for service of process regarding General Civil, Small Claims, and Landlord Tenant.
There are two independent companies that you may use to serve court pleadings. If you choose to use one of these companies, you must contact them directly regarding fees and payment for service.

You are also welcome to use any other qualified process server agency for service of court filings EXCEPT for Orders of Eviction, Orders to Seize Property, and Claim and Delivery. These specific Orders will only be handled by this Court’s bonded Court Officers listed below:
