In texas, I'm pro se. How can I request a deposition of the other party if I am not a lawyer. What are the steps, where do I conduct this, do I need to hire someone to take the transcripts or deposition, and do I need to have anyone else present? Also, what if the opposing party's attorney objects to every question and leaves the deposition early because they falsely claim that it's abusive?

Hey! Here’s a quick rundown:
- Subpoena: A legal document that orders someone to attend court or produce documents. It’s often used for non-parties.
- Notice of Deposition: A formal notice to a party involved in the case to appear for a deposition. It doesn’t require a court order.
Is there anything else you need to know about subpoenas or depositions?
