No. Cases pending in the Federal courts, or to subpoenas which do not seek production of consumer records, do not require a notice to the consumer. But you must still give all of the parties notice that you are subpoenaing records.
Notice to consumer is required to get any type of personal documents, such as bank statments, ssn, etc...
A criminal subpoena is an official notice to appear, issued by the court, regarding a criminal (as opposed to civil) matter.
The correct spelling is "subpoena" (notice to appear in court).
Put your notice in to your supervisor. Err on the side of caution, and assume you'll be required to give two weeks notice.
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.
176.4 Who May Issue. A subpoena may be issued by: (a) the clerk of the appropriate district, county, or justice court, who must provide the party requesting the subpoena with an original and a copy for each witness to be completed by the party; (b) AN ATTORNEY AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, as an officer of the court; or (c) an officer authorized to take depositions in this State, who must issue the subpoena immediately on a request accompanied by a notice to take a deposition under Rules 199 or 200, or a notice under Rule 205.3, and who may also serve the notice with the subpoena.
A subpoena is not something you answer. A subpoena is a court order requiring you to appear in court. States have a certain amount of time in which you must be served with the subpoena prior to the court date, ranging from 2 days to as long as 14 days. Your state may require 10 days notice. In any event, if you have been served with a subpoena, you need to appear as directed. If you cannot appear, you should contact the party who issued the subpoena and discuss your problem.
Notice is required in all states.
It is used by a judgment creditor to freeze the assets of the debtor and to find out what assets the debtor has.
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.
