[Salutation]

I was retained by [name of client] in connection with a divorce proceeding that was filed with the district clerk of [county] County, Texas, on [date]. I am enclosing a copy of the Original Petition for Divorce and the original and one copy of a Waiver of Service. The legal effect of the waiver should be discussed carefully with counsel of your own choosing.

I would appreciate your delivering the copy of the petition and the waiver to your attor­ney so that your attorney can contact me directly.

If you do not file an answer to this lawsuit or sign and return this waiver to this office within fifteen days, I will proceed with formal service of citation.

Sincerely yours,
