Mobile Austin Notary - Texas Process Server Appointed by TX Supreme Court

Mobile Austin Notary recently had two of our staff members in April appointed by the Texas Supreme Court to be licensed "bad ass" Texas Process Servers in all 254 counties in Texas.. Ok, bad ass wasn't the official title the Texas Supreme Court gave us. Just sounds way cooler. :D

This was a extremely long and hard process to go thru in Texas, with multiple background checks needed, fingerprinting checks, training, test taking and finally the Texas Supreme Court approval. There is currently only about 3,200 Texas Supreme Court appointed process servers in the entire state of Texas. To put that number into perspective there is 254 counties in Texas, Texas is the 2nd LARGEST land and population state in the U.S.

With those numbers on average there is only about 13 process servers PER county in Texas. Consider how many realtors, licensed notaries and mortgage brokers there are in comparision. Those numbers are in the hundreds of thousands in the state.

Plus, we were accepted into the TXSPA (Texas Process Servers Association) and there is only about 532 members (two of them being our company) in the entire state of Texas.

We will be having a third staff member go thru this process in June 2009, so we will have three Texas appointed process servers to serve all our clients locally. statewide and nationally in the future.

Dog The Bounty Hunter...watch out because you got some new competition my little 80's rock band hair dude! LOL! (FYI he's a bail bondsmen...we don't do that totally different we don't tackle people!)

Your Business Card, Your Brand - What Your Doing Wrong!

Your Business Card, Your Brand
by ServeNow

Business cards have changed dramatically since they first appeared in China in the 15th century. At that time, they were essential tools of etiquette that were only for aristocrats and royalty, but in today's competitive market, business cards are an essential tool for any business interaction. With the sheer amount of business cards that are distributed today, it is more important than ever before to set your company apart from the rest.

Think of your business card as a first and last impression. People can make assumptions about your business based on the information on and the quality of your business card. It also serves as a lingering reminder of you long after you have parted ways with a potential business associate. What do you want your business card to portray about your business? There are some simple rules to follow regarding what should and shouldn't be on your business card.

Business Card Do's

  • Brand Your Company.

Your business card is your first opportunity to brand your organization with a potential client, or peer who could offer you referral work. If prospective clients receive your business card from a friend or coworker, it is the only information they have about your company and thus it is your one opportunity to impress them. Put your logo on your business card, and use fonts and colors that are consistent with what is on your website and other printed materials. It is important that your branding is professional. Do not include clip art or cartoon images on your business card.

  • Include All Contact Information.

It sounds simple, but make sure your potential clients have all of your contact information. List a telephone number that will always be answered, a mailing address, a fax number, email address and website. If you have a toll-free number include that with a local phone number. You never know when an out-of-town client will choose to call a toll-free number over a local number.

  • Use Back of Card.

The backside of your business card is the perfect place to include information that makes your card worth holding on to. According to Chris Brunner, owner and developer of GreatFX Business Cards, business cards with printing on both sides are the most effective. If a card is extremely unique or rare (laser cut metal or chocolate for example) it may have a better chance of marketing success...but unique and rare comes with a price. In order to be effective on a budget, you should plan ahead for what content to include on the card. List information such as additional office locations, services offered and professional memberships. These details often are what makes a client take notice of your business over another. Don't let this space go to waste.

  • What Do You Do?

"One of the biggest mistakes I see on business cards is that it is not clear what a company does," said PInow.com Brand Manager Troy Piegols. "People may put emphasis into the color and design of the business card, but if you don't have a strong, relevant tagline it is ineffective. Someone who receives your card may not be clear on what you do if it does not mention your core business practice." Examples of strong relevant taglines are: XYZ Company - Successfully Serving Papers Since 1980; or Riviera Enterprises - Professional Private Investigation Services.

Business Card Don'ts

  • Don't Design Your Own Business Cards.

Unless you happen to be a trained graphic designer, do not design your own business cards. You work with professional clients, and should give off a professional image. Your business card is fundamentally a first impression and is a lasting reminder of you. Do not let your lasting impression look like the "Before" example in the image above.

  • Use a High-Quality Printer.

Do not use perforated business card templates that you printed on your office printer, or free business cards that place the printer's logo on the backside of the card. Your business card is first and foremost a reflection of your business. You should not be sharing that space and co-branding it with a printer. This can muddle your message, and confuse people who aren't familiar with your company. Customers' first impressions will be "free business cards" instead of impressing them with your professionalism. Business cards can be more reasonable than you think and a tax write off.

Keep Them With You

Once you create a top-notch business card - distribute it! Have you ever met a potential new client and realized you left your business cards at the office? Have you attended a conference and met someone who could have referred you business, but instead of your business card they have a name and number on a cocktail napkin? Make sure you always have a stack of business cards with you, and remember to treat your business card as an important branding opportunity. Keep in mind that your business card is one of the most basic, but most effective forms of marketing and branding your company.

Hope this article can help you small business owners and professionals.

Wikipedia's definition of service of process...Texas Service of Process

Service of process is the procedure employed to give legal notice to a person (such as a defendant) of a court or administrative body's exercise of its jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body or other tribunal. Usually, notice is furnished by delivering a set of court documents (called "process") to the person to be served.

Service

Each jurisdiction has rules regarding the means of service of process. Typically, a summons and related documents must be served upon the defendant personally, or in some cases upon another person of suitable age and discretion at the person's residence or place of business or employment. In some cases, service of process may be effected through the mail as in some small claims court procedures. In exceptional cases, other forms of service may be authorized by procedural rules or court order, including service by publication when an individual cannot be located in a particular jurisdiction.

Proper service of process initially establishes personal jurisdiction of the court over the person served. If the defendant ignores further pleadings or fails to participate in the proceedings, then the court or administrative body may find the defendant in default and award relief to the claimant, petitioner or plaintiff. Service of process must be distinguished from service of subsequent documents (such as pleadings and motion papers) between the parties to litigation.

In the past in many countries, people did not have the right to know that there were legal proceedings against them. In some cases, they would only find out when magistrates showed up with the sheriff and seized their property, sometimes throwing them into debtor's prison until their debts were paid. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution prohibit the federal government and state governments from depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Therefore the process server is "serving" the recipient with notice of their constitutional right to due process of the law.

In ancient times, the service of a summons was considered a royal act that had serious consequences. It was a summons to come to the King's Court and to respond to the demand of a loyal subject. In ancient Persia, failure to respond to the King's summons meant a sentence of death. Today the penalty for ignoring a summons may be entry of a default money judgment that can subsequently be enforced.

Service of process in cases filed in the United States district courts is governed by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In England and Wales, the rules governing service of documents are contained within Part 6 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998.

Service on a defendant who resides in a country outside the jurisdiction of the Court must comply with special procedures prescribed under the Hague Service Convention, if the recipient's country is a signatory. Service on defendants in many South American countries and some other countries is effected through the Letter Rogatory process. Where a defendant's whereabouts are unknown, the Court may permit service by publication, usually in a newspaper.
