Subpoenas

Ask the court clerk to have the judge issue a subpoena for whomever for purposes of testimony...and an additional subpoena (duces tecum) if that person is to bring any records with them to court, * Judges only deal with such matters if the case is being brought in a small community. The office of the clerk of the circuit court or other court venue handles all the documentation pertaining to civil litigation. It is the plaintiff's or the plaintiff's legal counsel's responsibility to request any additional interrogatories (discovery documents). Duces Tecum is a procedure generally reserved for civil litigation by businesses or by a prosecutor. In civil litigation by/for an individual (plaintiff) a Request For Production of Documents is used.

Yes. If the messages are still available they can be subpoenaed. Even if they are deleted hey can still be accessed.

Yes, you do as long as you are the judgment debtor of the person serving the subpoena on you and as long as it was issued properly. If you ignore the subpoena, the creditor could apply to the court for an order directing you to answer it. If the order is served on you and you still refuse to answer it, the creditor can apply for an order to hold you in contempt of the court order, which could subject you to arrest. This type of arrest is not a criminal arrest, but the court might decide to keep you in jail until you do answer the information subpoena.

Generally, it means you are required to appear at a court hearing.

You are either being sued by someone, or you have knowledge and/or evidence that you need to present to the court.

The ATF is a federal agency.

You could be. WHO told you they were trying to serve you? If it can be proven that you were "dodging" the service of the subpoena you could be charged.

Your attorney would be best to answer that questions. Since we do not have the full facts of the case and this place does not provide legal advice since not everyone here is an attorney.

The answer is someone failed to respond to a subpoena or court order originally issued.

The question is unclear.

(1) You cannot have an expungement awarded to you via a subpoena.

(2) If someone subpoenas your expunged record it IS available, but they would have to show cause why it should be released to them, and it would have to be released by a judicial order. Once your record is expunged it is not available to the public - but it IS available to law enforcement, the courts, government agencies and those organizations that conduct security clearance background checks for the government.

A criminal subpoena is an official notice to appear, issued by the court, regarding a criminal (as opposed to civil) matter.

no, In Florida as long as you live at the address they can deliver it to whomever and that person usually signs or gives a name since they are taking it on your behalf

More information is needed to answer this question. If you were court-ordered (by the judge) to appear, no further notification is legally necessary. If a subpoena/summons was left with a member of your household who acknowledged that you resided there it is considered as having been served.

No.

If a court ordered you to appear and you didn't, then a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Once a subpoena has been properly served, there is not much that one can do to legally elude their responsibility to the court system. However, the operative word is "properly." If a subpoena is dropped off at a place of business or delivered by mail, one could claim "ineffective service." Individuals who serve subpoenas must be able to testify to a judge that they indeed served the subpoena properly (they must be able to verify that the documents reached their intended recipient).

In order to be introduced into the court proceedings they must have "relevance" to the case being heard. Only the person in receipt of the Duces Tecum knows what documents are spelled out as being relevant by the court. Other persons who wish to introduce what THEY think may be helpful can approach counsel for either side and OFFER their information or documents, but that is no guarantee that their information will be admitted.

If you have an attorney representing you, he or she can create the subpoena and have it served on the witness. If you don't have representation, you must ask the court to issue the subpoena. You may then be required to pay the costs for a process server, constable, or deputy sheriff to serve the subpoena on the witness.

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.

Motion to quash.

Possibly. You could also be a witness that they want information from.

Yes, if he gets proof of receipt.
