Will there be a short message when the court summons is served?

The court summons will not be notified by SMS, and SMS cannot confirm that the court information has been effectively delivered. The people's court has a formal service procedure for serving subpoenas. The first way to serve a summons is for the parties to sign in person. Telephone notification is not the way to serve, but for the parties to serve directly to the court. The legal requirement is to notify the parties by summons three days before the trial.

What are the ways for the court to serve subpoenas?

1, direct service, also known as service, refers to the way that the people's court sends a special person to directly serve the litigation documents to the addressee for signature. Direct delivery is the most basic mode of delivery.

2. Service by lien means that the addressee refuses to serve the litigation documents unreasonably, and the addressee shall place the litigation documents at the addressee's residence and have the legal effect of service.

3. Entrusted service means that when the people's court in charge of hearing civil cases has difficulty in directly serving litigation documents, it entrusts other people's courts to serve them on its behalf according to law.

4. Delivery by post means that the people's court sends the documents served to the addressee by registered mail through the post office. Practice shows that court mail service is usually a way of service when the addressee's residence is far from the court and it is difficult to deliver it directly.

5. Service refers to the way that the people's court sends the litigation documents to the unit where the addressee works for collection, and then forwards them to the addressee.

6. The notice can be posted on the bulletin board of the court, the original residence of the addressee, or published in the newspaper. Notice service can only be used when the whereabouts of the addressee are unknown or cannot be served by other means.
