Certificate Of Address Requirement

Summary

In Texas, a Certificate of Last Known Address is required for default judgments if the defendant does not respond. If the defendant submits an answer, the certificate is not needed. Proceed by reviewing the answer, possibly filing a reply, preparing for discovery, and scheduling hearings or mediation if necessary.
