Their lackadaisical attempts and lack of common sense are a disgrace, as exemplified in this post on their attempt. I hope their attention to detail in investigating crimes are better.<br /><br />That's why professional private process servers are so much better. Yes, even their certification system is broke (changes being ramrodded through by organizations benefiting monetarily from the education portions), but they try harder. Why? Because they know that good customer service in their line of work means repeat business and staying in business. The Sheriffs don't have to worry about that, as they will automatically get a huge chunk of papers to play with.<br /><br />Yes, I am a little passionate about it, since I used to serve papers until about a year ago. I no longer do that line of work (alot of labor and miles for very little profit unless you get a huge amount of papers to serve), but still know many private servers.<br /><br />Spend a little more of a private server and you will end up saving time and money in the long run. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-21588736332473779262013-12-05T13:20:25.469-06:002013-12-05T13:20:25.469-06:00This blog post states:

It is now hardware and software upgraded and online with desktop links to TexFile, FDAM sign-in, HCDClerk, fillable criminal subpoena application and subpoena forms, just bunches of stuff I have put on there. Need access to your own office computer? No problem - Set up a Dropbox; or click on GoToMyPC, or set up your files to access them on Microsoft Skydrive in Hotmail. You can also create a file AND FAX IT over the Internet via the GotFreeFax link (3 pages free). CHECK IT ALL OUT !!<br />BE FOREWARNED: JAN. 1, 2014 ALL,ALL ATTORNEY FILINGS FOR FAMILY AND CIVIL CASES MUST BE E-FILED.

A lot of people complain about things privately but never bring them to the attention of someone who has the power to address their concerns.

Heck, I'll even meet you for a coffee on 2, if you'd prefer. I've made that offer repeatedly, whether about efiling or the new docket system or anything else. However, no one takes me up on it. If you think that I won't listen and have a discussion with you about it or any issues you might be having, you don't know me very well or you don't care to. I can't look into, fix or do anything about issues that I am not made aware of. Though I would request that it not be in the middle of the Friday docket. Additionally, just to be clear, we have routinely taken motions that need to be filed right then for some reason. Of course those folks usually come up and actually talk to me. So, my door is open. Seriously, happy to talk with anyone about it and hope you would be willing to listen with an open mind as well. <br /><br />Brad HartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-57316753449704574472013-11-25T21:27:02.249-06:002013-11-25T21:27:02.249-06:00Well someone needs to tell Brad Hart the system is...Well someone needs to tell Brad Hart the system isn't ready yet.
