A: While the method of delivering subpoenas can vary, receiving a subpoena notice through text in Nevada is generally not a standard practice. Subpoenas are legal documents issued by the court, and they are typically served in person by a process server, a law enforcement officer, or through certified mail. However, the exact procedures can depend on the specific court and case.

If you are being called as a witness in a domestic violence case, it's essential to verify the legitimacy of any communication claiming to be a subpoena. If you have concerns or questions about the subpoena process in your case, it's advisable to contact the court clerk or the attorney who issued the subpoena to confirm its authenticity and seek guidance on how you should respond.
