Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a 

summons and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff 

located in the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure. 

Case 2:15-md-02641-DGC Document 9672 Filed 01/16/18 Page 1 of 2
2

“Good cause” does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has 

no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant’s property. 

If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of 

a summons or of service. 

If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the 

plaintiff and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been 

served.

On February 18, 2016, we referred appellant’s affidavit o f inability to pay

contest or contests to the affidavit o f indigence, the trial court’s signed order ruling on the contest, and any other documents directly related to the affidavit of indigence.See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(1). On March 14, 2016 a supplemental clerk’s record

was filed, but a relevant item was om itted. The reco rd does not contain the trial
court’ s order on contest t o pauper’ s oath. The Harris County District Clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record on or before May 2, 2016, containing the trial cou rt's order on contest to pauper’ s o ath.
If the omitted item is not part of the case file, the district clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing a certified statement that the omitted item is not a part of the case file.
