Under TRCP 103, process may be served only by a sheriff or constable, a JBCC-certified process server, or a person 18 or older authorized by written order of the court in a specific case. JBCC certification requires a 7-hour Commission-approved civil process course completed within one year of applying, a $200 first-time application fee, and state and national criminal history background checks via fingerprinting. Certification runs in two-year periods, and renewal requires 8 hours of continuing education including 2 hours of ethics. An expired certification may not be used to serve process.
