86th Texas Legislature Update
 
Senate Bill SB263 has been introduced
 
The introduced bill is relating to the protection of certain information from disclosure in suits affecting the parent-child relationship and to service of process in those suits on a party whose information is protected from disclosure.
 
 
The proposed bill would protect private information about parties in cases involving family law cases where one party is likely to harass, abuse, or harm another party.  The change would make it so that these types of cases do not have a printed address for service, or any printed addresses of the parties within the paperwork.  The process server would need to file a request, in person, with the clerk of court for the address for service.  On the return of service, the process server would NOT provide an address where the process was served; instead providing the statement "the residence address in the clerk's data sheet".
