(2) The Petitioner has an active protective order and order based on finding of family violence committed by the Respondent during the marriage.

How can I serve my spouse in Dallas County? If attempts to serve do not work, can I serve by publication?

In Dallas County, when the Respondent is in Texas, service is proper if the Respondent is hand delivered a copy of the citation and petition for divorce. Service may be done by a sheriff, constable, or another person authorized by law. Tex. R. Civ. P. 103.

Service is also proper by mailing the citation and petition by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested. The return receipt with the addressee’s signature is attached to the return. Tex. R. Civ. P. 106.

On Motion, supported by an affidavit saying personal delivery was unsuccessful, the court may grant service by an alternative method. Under substitute service, the court can order that the citation and a copy of the petition can be left with anyone over age 16 at the specified location or in any manner that the affidavit stated would reasonably give the respondent notice of the divorce suit.

Waiver of service is also proper, if the Respondent will agree to accept service. If the Respondent will agree to sign a waiver of service, than hand delivery is not required.

If the Respondent is represented by counsel, service may also be proper on the Respondent’s attorney of record if the attorney will agree to accept service on the respondent’s behalf.
