A: A citation is a document that gives notice to a person being sued that a legal action has been filed. The citation is served on that person by a constable, sheriff or private process server. The document that details the legal action will be attached to the citation. The citation will have very important information so it needs to be read carefully. It will usually give a deadline for when a answer to the legal action has to be given to the court.
