Divorce Process Serving in Texas

Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Texas, about 61 days minimum; most uncontested cases finalize in 2–3 months.
