Serving papers
TRCP Rule 103 compliant service for Harris County courts. Personal service, substitute service, and alternative methods.
Assignment basics
Nothing here guarantees a service outcome; results depend on the defendant, the address, and the court's requirements.
Geography
Most of League City lies in Galveston County, with a portion reaching into Harris County.
The city spreads west from the I-45 corridor between Houston and Galveston, and its subdivisions include South Shore Harbour, Tuscan Lakes and Magnolia Creek. Waterfront and marina communities around Clear Lake and Dickinson Bayou bring boat-access streets, private gates and second-home occupancy patterns that change when a defendant is actually present.
Citations filed in Galveston County are served under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and returnable to Galveston County district courts, county courts at law or the justice court of the precinct that covers the address.
Galveston County covers most addresses; a Harris County portion exists.
Marina and bayou-front streets carry private gates and seasonal occupancy.
District and county courts at law for civil cases; justice courts for evictions and small claims.
