Welcome to the Process Server Review Board (PSRB) of Texas - Home Page.
Origin & Mission
The Texas Supreme Court approved amendments to Rules 103 and 536(a) of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, effective July 1, 2005, governing statewide certification of process servers. The Court also issued a companion order to establish the framework for certification of those approved to serve process under the revised rules, to approve of certain existing civil process service courses, and to establish the framework for the Board to approve additional courses. The Court also approved a companion order that establishes the membership of the Process Server Review Board (PSRB), and an order appointing Mr. Carl Weeks as Chair.
The Mission of the Process Server Review Board is to improve the standards for persons authorized to serve process and to reduce the disparity among Texas civil courts for approving persons to serve process, by making recommendations to the Supreme Court of Texas on the certification of individuals and the approval of courses.
