A subpoena duces tecum is typically used to compel the production of documents or evidence rather than to summon a person for a deposition. To summon an individual for a deposition, a standard deposition notice is generally issued. However, if specific documents are required to be brought to the deposition, a subpoena duces tecum can be included alongside the deposition notice. This allows for both the individual's testimony and the requested documents to be obtained during the deposition.

Deposition
To object to a notice of deposition, you should file a written objection with the court and serve it to the opposing party, stating the specific grounds for your objection, such as improper notice, relevance, or privilege. Additionally, you may seek a protective order to limit or prevent the deposition from occurring. It's essential to adhere to any relevant rules or deadlines set by the court regarding objections to depositions. Always consult with an attorney to ensure compliance with legal procedures.
In Texas, a party to a lawsuit generally cannot refuse to participate in a deposition if properly served with a notice to do so.

To assert your Fifth Amendment right in a deposition, you can verbally state that you are invoking your right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This means you are refusing to answer questions that may incriminate you. It is important to consult with an attorney before taking this step to understand the implications for your case.
Yes you do. You also have the right to refuse the deposition if a tape recorder is present without first obtaining permission to use one. Whoever is holding the deposition, must first obtain authority from your attorney to do so. I am not sure how it will affect your case, but you do have the right to say no.ANOTHER ANSWERNo you do not. Both the federal rules of civil procedure and virtually all state court rules of civil procedure permit the taking of depositions by videotape at the discretion of the person calling the deposition. If the deposition is called for under a notice to a party to be deposed by videotape, the party's case may be dismissed for refusing to be so deposed. If the deposition is called for by a subpoena to a non-party witness, the person refusing to be deposed may be held in contempt of court for refusing to obey a subpoena.Videotaped depositions are now commonplace and there is no right to refuse to be deposed (if properly called) simply because the deposition is to be videotaped as opposed to being transcribed by a certified shorthand court reporter.By way of example, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(3) states:(3) Method of Recording.(A) Method Stated in the Notice. The party who notices the deposition must state in the notice the method for recording the testimony. Unless the court orders otherwise, testimony may be recorded by audio, audiovisual, or stenographic means. The noticing party bears the recording costs. Any party may arrange to transcribe a deposition.This means that deposition by videotape is permitted in all situations without regard to your or your attorney's approval, unless it can be shown that there is good cause why the court should not allow it.
If the notice was in the form of a subpoena or summons from the court issued over a judge's signature, yes. If not, it is optional - UNLESS - you happen to be one of the principals to the suit, then you'd be foolish not to attend.
Deposition means to drop something in another place.
