Q: Serving texas subpoena on a GA based company by serving it's registered agent in texas.
I have an enforcement action against my Ex in Texas court. My ex lies to court that he earns just $40,000 per year but I know he gets over $150,000 per year.
I want to secure payment records via subpoena from his work place to prove to court.
My ex works at newell company in GA. Their registered agent is in Austin, Tx. So served it's registered agent in texas.
Now their legal department says it's a foreign subpoena and can't comply.
And asking me to state legal authority.
I am a unwmployed prose. Please advice.
Thanks
A:
Are you serving a Motion for Enforcement? Or a subpoena? Those are two different documents
If you are serving a Motion for Enforcement and if your ex is an employee of the company in Georgia, you cannot serve a Motion for Enforcement for your ex, by serving the company that they work for or their registered agent. Enforcement actions must be personally served on the party to the suit.
If you have the address for the company in Georgia, you can send a Sheriff, Constable or private process server to personally serve your ex at their job.
I hope this information helps. Good luck.
