Very definitely. One of the motions on which a defendant can challenge the court's jurisidiction, and assert his lack of notice as to the lawsuit, is on a motion to dismiss for lack of sufficiency of service of process.

The relevant countermotion would cite and have attached therewith the relevant duly-executed return of service, or, in the case of sworn personnel who are usually not required to execute returns of service, a special affidavit asserting duly-completed service of process.

How do you know the defendant was served papers for small claims court?

The court clerk or process server will typically provide a proof of service document indicating when and how the defendant was served with the court papers for the small claims case. This document is then filed with the court as confirmation of proper service.


Can a civil summons be delivered out of jurisdiction?

If by "delivered" you mean served, yes. The summons has to be issued by the Clerk of the Court where the case is pending, directing service on the defendant at a specific address. The Plaintiff then forwards the issued summons to the sheriff's service of process unit, or hires a special process server (sometimes called an "elisor") in the Defendant's locale to effect service of process. If successful, a return of service is sent back to the Plaintiff (or his/her/its attorney) documenting service. The original of the return of service is filed with the court where the case is pending, and the Plaintiff or his/her/its attorney retains a copy. The documentation of service of process is critical to demonstrating that the court has acquired the requisite personal jurisdiction over the Defendant.

Is a security guard required to notify the tenant of a private gated community that they have a process server at the gate or do I just let them through?

Either let the process server thru the gate to perform his obligation as a representative of the court, or be prepared to accept service yourself on behalf of the defendant. Upon failure to serve the court documents on the third attempt, the process server can legally subserve the documents on anyone at the residence over the age of 18 ( and competent).
