service terms
Coverage:
Base rates are designed for routine service in Fort Worth/Tarrant County and nearby DFW areas. Services elsewhere in Texas are available by quote. Remote locations, gated properties, difficult-access locations, specific-time attempts, large document packages, multiple addresses, unusual deadlines, and subcontracted/out-of-area assignments may require additional charges.
Important:
Fees are for professional service attempts and related work; successful service cannot be guaranteed. Court filing fees, witness fees, production fees, postage, parking, tolls, and other third-party expenses are additional when applicable. Payment may be required before service begins. Rates are subject to change and a written quote controls when issued.
