About COME AND SERVE IT

---

Our name, "COME AND SERVE IT," is a direct nod to one of the most iconic phrases in Texas history. In 1835, in Gonzales, Texas, a small cannon was loaned to the settlers for defense against Native American raids. When Mexican authorities demanded its return, the Texans defiantly hoisted a flag bearing the image of the cannon and the immortal words: "Come and Take It!" This rallying cry symbolized their unwavering resolve to protect their rights and self-governance.

For us, "COME AND SERVE IT" isn't just a catchy name. It signifies our commitment to:

• Directness: We approach our duties with clear purpose and unwavering dedication.
• Integrity: We operate with the highest ethical standards, ensuring proper and lawful service.
• Protection of Rights: We believe that proper notice is a cornerstone of due process, just as the cannon in Gonzales symbolized the right to self-defense.

The concept of "due process" – ensuring fair treatment and proper notification in legal matters – dates back over 800 years to the Magna Carta in 1215. This foundational document established that no person should be deprived of their rights without lawful judgment and the "law of the land."

Over centuries, this principle evolved, leading to the development of the vital role of the process server. In the United States, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution explicitly guarantee due process, making the accurate and timely delivery of legal documents essential. From sheriffs in colonial America to today's dedicated professionals, process servers are the silent sentinels of justice, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to respond to legal actions against them.
