Then you would have to have the order served. In most cases this must be served by the sheriffs office and the sheriff's office will charge a fee for this. In other cases this can be served by an uninterested third party that will sign "under penalty of perjury" that they have delivered the subpoena. In addition to this, you may have to reimburse the person you have subpoenaed to court for mileage traveled, parking expenses and often an hourly charge at rates determined by the county. If you win your case, you may be able to force the losing party to pay for all of these expenses.

If you know about the court date, whether properly served or not, it is in your best interests to attend the hearing.
