Will the court summons send a text message?

Legal analysis: No, SMS can't confirm that the court information was served effectively. The people's court has a formal service procedure for serving subpoenas, and the first way to serve subpoenas is for the parties to sign in person. Telephone notification is not a delivery method, but requires you to deliver it directly to the court.

The notification letter sent by the private number to the court should not comply with the law, and you can completely ignore it. It's fake.

Legal basis: Article 187th of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). After the people's court decides to hold a hearing, it shall determine the members of the collegial panel and serve a copy of the indictment of the people's procuratorate on the defendant and his defender ten days before the hearing.

Before the trial, the judge may convene the public prosecutor, the parties, the defenders and the agents ad litem to understand the issues related to the trial, such as withdrawal, the list of witnesses appearing in court, and the exclusion of illegal evidence, and listen to opinions.

After the people's court determines the date of the hearing, it shall notify the people's procuratorate of the time and place of the hearing, summon the parties, and notify the defenders, agents ad litem, witnesses, expert witnesses and translators. Summons and notices should be served at least three days before the trial. For a case to be tried in public, the cause of action, the name of the defendant, the time and place of the court session shall be announced in advance three days before the court session.

The above activities shall be recorded in the record and signed by the judges and the clerk.
