State license required — Texas has no occupational license for process servers, but private servers must be certified by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission (JBCC) under Government Code Chapter 156. 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.
