This manual recommends that the attorney review the return of service before filing with the court. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 107 and section 16.8 in this chapter for the requirements of a return of service. The example form below, originally from the Texas Judicial Branch Certification Commission’s website for process server forms at www.txcourts.gov/media/143172/DRAFTreturnofserviceforms.pdf, has been slightly updated to comply with the amendments to Tex. R. Civ. P. 107, promulgated by the Supreme Court of Texas in Misc. Docket No. 24-9102, effective December 1, 2024.
