What if the court sent me a text message to appear in court, but I didn't receive a subpoena?

There is no summons for SMS notification. The service method of the summons is as follows:

1. Direct service: the service mode in which the court judges, clerks or judicial police directly deliver the litigation documents that should be served to the person to be served, his agent or adult family members (legal representatives of the unit or persons who specially receive the documents) who live together.

2. Entrusted service: if it is difficult to serve directly, the service method of entrusting other courts to serve on its behalf. It is a supplement to direct delivery. Strictly speaking, entrusted service is not an independent way of service, it is only an act of mutual assistance between courts.

3. Service by post: the service method that the court service personnel deliver the litigation materials that should be served to the addressee by mail.

4. Lien service: the litigation documents directly served by the court are refused to be signed by the addressee. After the addressee invites the personnel of relevant institutions to be present, the relevant personnel shall witness the way of leaving the litigation documents at the addressee's residence and complete the service.

5. Forwarding to the addressee: the way to deliver the serviceman and the imprisoned and reeducation-through-labor personnel in the army to the addressee through the political department or prison administration department at or above the regiment level.

6. Announcement service: also called quasi-service. It refers to the delivery method of publishing an announcement in a newspaper or other carrier, which produces a delivery effect after a certain period of time.

Article 109 of the Civil Procedure Law: The people's court may summon the defendant to appear in court, but refuses to appear in court after two summonses without justifiable reasons.

Article 143 If the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned by a summons, or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, it may be treated as withdrawing the lawsuit; If the defendant counterclaims, he may make a judgment by default.

If you don't appear in court according to the court summons, under normal circumstances, the court will not wait for you, so your case will be judged by default. I believe everyone can understand the literal meaning, that is, if you make a judgment without making any defense, the court will make a judgment directly based on the plaintiff's evidence and rhetoric, and it is very likely that the plaintiff will win the case.

It is equivalent to not appearing in court and directly choosing the default consent judgment. The defendant was defeated without a fight. This has a clear legal basis. Article 143 of China's Civil Procedure Law (revised 20 12) stipulates: "If the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned by summons, or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, it may be treated as withdrawing the lawsuit; If the defendant counterclaims, he may make a judgment by default. Again, the other party will definitely say something beneficial to you, and the judgment will definitely be unfavorable to you, which will directly damage your rights and interests.
