Is it true that the court texted me to get a subpoena?

Legal analysis: Under normal circumstances, the court will not call or send text messages to the parties, but will only issue subpoenas. However, under special circumstances, such as hearing a case according to a summary procedure, if the judge notifies the parties by SMS, he can call the notified court or ask in person to verify whether the situation is true. First, the court will notify you by SMS after filing the case; However, it should be noted that the SMS number sent by the court is that kind of phone number (a series of numbers). If the short message of the court is 12368, even if it is an information notification, it still needs to be subject to the receipt of the court's lawsuit and summons. Two. Countermeasure: It is recommended to go to the court for verification. Remember to bring your ID card. The short messages of litigation notice received are all false, mostly fraud. The court will not call the parties, send text messages, only issue subpoenas. Whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, after the case is accepted and filed, the court will serve a written summons with detailed information such as the cause of action, the time and place of the court session. If the hearing is notified by other means, you can go to the court to ask. If it is true, you need a subpoena. Whether the notice of litigation is true or false must be based on the court summons.

Legal basis: the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation of Application.

Article 131 If a people's court directly serves litigation documents, it may notify the parties to collect them from the people's court. If the party concerned refuses to sign the service receipt when he arrives at the people's court, it shall be deemed to have been served. The judge and the clerk shall indicate the service on the service receipt and sign it. The people's court may directly serve litigation documents on the parties outside their domicile. If the party concerned refuses to sign the receipt of service, and takes photos or videos of the service process, it shall be deemed as service. The judge and the clerk shall indicate the service on the service receipt and sign it.

Article 537 Where a people's court serves litigation documents to the parties by announcement in the first instance, it may serve them by announcement in the second instance, except that the people's court may serve them by other means than announcement.
