Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
More than 60 days ago, I tried to have a defendant served via certified mail with a return request by the courts. But he has not responded � he is ignoring it � and the trial date is pending for 2-3 weeks from now. Can I get a default judgment? Or if a sheriff or private process server shows up and hands him papers (even if he tears them up), then has he been served?
I'm filing suit in a Harris county justice of the peace court.

Based on what you have written, there are specific rules set forth in the Texas Civil Rules for when a party is avoiding service. You may want to consult with a local law firm to assist you with prosecuting your case.
