Should a Process Server Be Allowed to Record Serving Papers?

Locate Service, Process Service

The mass proliferation of cell phones and other mobile technology has led to a considerable increase in video surveillance in the United States. Some would say this is highly valuable in those situations when your word is not believed or there is another party bearing false witness against your sworn statements. Others would say they should have their privacy respected in all cases and not be recorded without consent.

In the case of process servers, things are a bit different. Because this job role often includes situations involving legal documentation, it may be wise to introduce video surveillance into the regular duties of a typical day.

There was a recent Texas case involving Stephen Hartman, who was attempting to serve a judge that had been accused of disrupting court proceedings and arrested. During what should have been a regular interaction, the process server was accused by the judge of overstepping their boundaries and acting belligerent. Even worse, there were testimonies of 5 other attorneys and two deputy sheriffs, all giving different inaccurate recounting of the situation.

No one realized that Mr. Hartman had a pen camera on his person at the time of the serving and recorded the entire event. When that recording was permitted in a court, all the charges were dropped, and his license to practice was reinstated.

This means that without that video evidence, this process server would, at the very least, face a loss of a career and probably have to deal with criminal charges as well. So, this is a pretty reasonable argument for having video/audio recording active while performing process serving duties.

 

The Rule of Consent

The thing to keep in mind is that not every state allows for recording. Careful consideration always needs to be paid to the local laws governing recordings before they are used in regular practice.

For example, even if a state allows video recording, it may not allow audio. Or, if they do, it may be a one-party or two-party situation where you may need consent. There is also the question of privacy in general. No one is allowed to record another person when trespassing or when breaking what is known as a “reasonable expectation” of privacy. This would be in situations like using the restroom or trying on clothing in a retail store dressing room.

Always ask the process serving company you are hiring if they do record while performing their duties. Most will follow guidelines outlined by the local court system for verification. That usually involves photographic evidence of visiting a home, business, or place of employment to document they are doing their due diligence in an attempt to serve papers.

 

 

When to Record Process Serving

There are three primary reasons to record the attempt to serve papers that include:

  • Recording all services and uploading them to a cloud storage system with a date and time stamp for later use in a court of law.
  • Only record services as they are performed and keeping a record of those with a problem or complex situation.
  • Recording situations that an experienced process server anticipates may be a problem in the long run.

Odds are the debate around privacy and recording is not going to go away anytime soon, so each process server will have to do what they can to protect themselves.

In our case at Houston Process Servers, we provide photographic proof of each attempt. This includes the date, time, and GPS coordinates in a verifiable stamp. This is completed through a specially designed process server app that allows these images to be 100% proof in a court of law. This kind of dedication to service and integration of modern technological solutions boosts our reputation for exceptional service with our clients.

 

The Process Servers of Tomorrow

Video recording is going to only get easier in the future. More mobile devices and wearable technology will make this more straightforward and cheaper to perform. You should expect to find it across many industries as days go by.

A process server is just like any other legal professional doing their best to ensure the safe running of our legal system. Having a video surveillance option ensures the job is done professionally and reliably every time.

That is why it is imperative to hire a professional firm like Houston Process Servers.

Is it Legal to Lie to a Process Server?

Jail Service, Locate Service, Process Service
Black male on pink background asking question Is It Legal to Lie to a Process Server?

A process server delivers legal documents related to civil cases in a court of law. This could be something as small as a notice you need to appear as a witness to something far more critical, like a class action lawsuit against your business. For that reason, many people try to avoid being served by lying about their whereabouts or identity. So, is this legal activity?

 

Process Servers are not Officers of the Law

 

The short answer is that you can lie to a process server, but you have to keep in mind a few caveats. There are gray areas where you could be considered “Preventing Execution of Civil Process” under the Texas Penal Code. That states any person committing an offense by intentionally or knowingly by words or physical action prevents the execution of any process.

 

There is an exception, and that relates to evading service. In other words, you can lie about who you are and if you are home or not, but if the process server knows you are lying and hands you the documents, then you are officially served.

 

This is an area where contacting a lawyer is the best option. Once there is a legal proceeding against you, it makes way more sense to accept the documents you are being served and hash out your differences and legal actions in court. The process server is just a messenger. Their goal is to deliver documents from point A to point B.

 

A Futile Lie

 

A professional process server team like ours at Houston Process Servers follows strict guidelines over how we act and perform our duties. When someone is being intentionally evasive, we document everything and then refer that to the client or court. That often leads to an amended server situation where we can send documentation via mail.

 

In other words, you cannot evade being served forever. Even if someone lies on your behalf, thinking they are helping, all that is happening is you are prolonging an event that people want to conclude sooner than later.

 

You should also know that process servers are diligent in their reporting. You can lie to them all you want, but if they are anything like our team, they will document the interaction. While a process server may have no feeling one way or the other on a case, a judge that sees numerous instances of evasion, lies, or mistreatment of a process server may not look favorably on your position when a court date is finally set.

 

Can a Process Server Lie to Me?

 

Process Servers have to follow strict guidelines to maintain their business operations. That includes ethical treatment of people being served documents. While some tactics are understandable to reach a target, you should expect a process server to treat you with dignity, professionalism, and honesty about who they are and what they are doing.

 

We at Houston Process Servers take this seriously because we recognize the importance of our role in the legal system. Courts, law enforcement, legal teams, government agencies, and many other entities rely on our discretion and ability to perform. That includes acting professionally, so there are no errors or reasons for concern in a court. The last thing we would ever want is a case to go south because our team did anything outside the realm of appropriate behavior.

 

This is why we always emphasize the importance of hiring an experienced and reputable service team. Once a situation needs legal services, it does not make sense to risk the outcome because of a process server that lies or doesn’t document the actions of someone being served.

How To Avoid a Process Server in Texas?

Jail Service, Locate Service, Process Service
A process server pointing his finger on you. People avoiding a process server.

A process server is someone who carries out the legal process of serving documents. This can be a formal legal document, such as a summons or subpoena, which requires that it be personally handed to the recipient.

These are working professionals authorized and certified by the Texas JBCC to deliver legal documentation and notices. They have no opinion or interest in the cases involving these documents. That is why asking a process server for legal advice is pointless. Regardless of a process server’s background, experience, or education, they are not legally allowed to offer advice on a case.

The sole responsibility of a process server is to take a document from point A to point B and then provide verification that everything has been conducted legally. So when you try to avoid a process server, you are not stopping action from occurring. If anything, you are only delaying the steps that will happen next.

 

What Happens if You Avoid a Process Server?

When a law firm, government body, or court hires a process server, they initiate legal contact with you. If you try to avoid that contact, it does not stop whatever lawsuit or legal action from happening. There will not be a hearing that is canceled. Or, if it is, it will only be slightly postponed to a near-future date.

This means that trying to avoid a process server will end with you and your legal counsel having less time to prepare for a hearing. That can be detrimental to your case if you need that time to collect evidence in your favor and support your argument about why these legal actions do not hold water.

A far worse situation is that your active attempts to avoid a process server could be taken personally by the judge. This is a dedicated working professional committed to upholding the law. If you demonstrate a disregard for the processes of the law, like not accepting legal documents, they may be less inclined to hear your side reasonably because these actions can be interpreted as disrespectful. It may seem small, but you want as much advantage as possible in a court case.

 

What if I Successfully Avoid a Process Server?

A professional process server is often trained to make multiple attempts at your home, place of business, or any other public location they are allowed to make delivery. If you successfully avoid them after one, two, or more attempts, expect the process server to prepare an affidavit of non-service.

This is a legal notice that, when approved by a court, authorizes what is known as substitute service – also called a 106. You do not want this to happen because it takes control completely out of your hands. A 106 means a judge has deemed your case worthy of simply leaving the legal documents with anyone in your household over 16 years of age or taping the documents to your door.

In that case, a process server will take a photo and instantly update your case so that a court can move forward with your legal situation. In other words, by avoiding a process server, you just waste your time! The documents you hope will disappear will eventually show up at your home, and now you will have to deal with possible negative impacts on your reputation and legal case.

 

 

Is there a Better Option?

Yes! When a professional team of process servers like those at Houston Process Servers attempts delivery of documentation, you should accept it. All they are is a legal delivery service trying to do a well-documented job.

Instead of trying to avoid a process server, call your legal counsel and immediately send them copies of the documents you receive. This way, you have as much time as possible to prepare for what is coming next, and a judge will view you as a rational human willing to go to bat for your side of the story.

Courts appreciate those willing to stand up for their rights and take responsibility for their actions. This places you on equal footing with whoever sent you the documents so you can move forward with legal proof and arguments about your case. Anyone who has had a bad situation with the law knows this is much more preferable.

How Process Servers Identify Someone Avoiding Service of Process?

Locate Service, Process Service
Scared woman hiding from process server
The job of a process server is often straightforward, performing each delivery effectively and efficiently so the courts can move forward with whatever case may be involved. While that is how most situations unfold, there are those rare cases when someone who is being served with documentation does their best to avoid being identified. That is when the expertise and experience of a process server come into play. Avoidance of service is a common occurrence in the legal process. For example, if you are sued for a debt that you do not owe, you may choose to avoid service and avoid being involved in the lawsuit. In addition, people may wish to remain anonymous and not be served with divorce papers or other legal documents such as subpoenas or notices of eviction. While the need to prevent the headache of a court hearing is understandable, it only becomes much harder to present both sides of the equation if one party is doing everything possible to avoid detection. Process servers will spend a great deal of time on the initial preparation of information before serving papers. This includes verifying addresses, contacts, and up-to-date records on a subject. Once all the details have been ironed out and a process server is confident they have the correct and most recent data, they will attempt delivery.  

Confidence & Kindness are Key

A process server will remain calm and collected during delivery. This includes not answering questions or being intimated by someone trying to avoid service of process. It is far more effective to speak clearly and politely so that any evasions by a subject do not prevent delivery. This could be things like they cannot meet at a prearranged time or are not the person the process server is seeking. All of these evasions will be met with respectful but assertive verifications of information. That is why it is not uncommon to see a process server with a documented photo of the subject ready to present on their phone. The internet makes it extremely easy to verify the identity of someone. If they are trying to evade over the phone or in-person with false claims, a process server can verify information like their image, pointing out the residence address, or place of business, and the registered agent.  

Process Servers Can be Creative

Sometimes, a process server may find that a defendant avoids the service of process by using a different name. For example, the plaintiff might be trying to serve one defendant when in fact, it’s another person who shares the same name and address. Or maybe the defendant is trying to avoid receiving papers by giving out an address where no one lives or putting his/her phone number on “do not call” lists. Here is when a process server will get more creative about their duties. If the address being used is actually owned by someone else and they’ve provided false information on their credit report (e.g., they say they live at an apartment but really don’t), process servers may go ahead and try serving them at that location anyway. This way, they can ask neighbors where they think this person lives or look around town for any signs of life at this particular location before making service attempts there. Sometimes people will open their doors even though they aren’t expecting visitors because they’re bored or lonely living alone without any family members nearby or just aren’t getting enough sleep. You could even see a process server calling out a name in a crowd at a park and seeing who responds. Nothing about legal duties or paperwork has to be mentioned at all, just a name. People who avoid process servers should expect to receive notices frequently and at various locations. This could include:
  • Visting the residential address and leaving notes
  • Visiting previously documented addresses and leaving messages with those residents
  • Going to a place of business and speaking with employees/employers to get in touch with the subject
  • Leaving messages on a car
  • Reaching out via social media
  • Leaving voicemails on a phone
 

It is All About a Professional Interaction

In all cases, a process server will act professionally and with respect. People who avoid these servers need to keep in mind that as long as every effort has been made by the process server, the case will still move forward. It is always far more effective to simply accept the documentation and contact legal counsel to either prove your side of the story or mitigate any damages from the situation. At Houston Process Servers, we pursue all avenues of contact as thoroughly as possible without violating our duties and code of conduct. This commitment to professionalism is why we have so many return and referral clients around Harris County from law enforcement, courts, law firms, government agencies, and businesses. We do our best with each project and have an excellent delivery rate. Reach out today and use our contact form to schedule your next need for a process server so you can save your team time and money and focus on other matters of the case.

Due to the nature of work offered, a process server will not be able to maintain a 100% success rate. However, maintaining a considerably high success rate is a good indication, which shows that you have selected the perfect process server to help you with your needs.

         Take a look at the fees

         See if you are comfortable in working with the process server

Last but not least, you need to verify whether you are comfortable in working along with the process server near me. The process server should be responsive. One of the main reasons on why you hire a process server is to overcome frustrating situations that are associated with legal processes.
