Tarrant County, Texas Probate Court - I'm Pro Se. It's been about a month and I still haven't received one of the green cards concerning certified mail sent to all parties ?
Hey there! It can sometimes take a bit for certified mail receipts to come back. Have you checked the tracking status of the certified mail online through the USPS website? This can give you an idea of where it might be.
Yes. They couldn't give me an update only that it was received ?
Hey! If the USPS couldn't provide an update, it might be a good idea to call the Tarrant County Probate Court and inquire if they received the notice. They can sometimes confirm receipt even if the green card hasn't been returned. Do you need their contact details?
yes
