This is not correct. Chapter 24 provides for the service of subpoenas: (a) A subpoena is served by:
(1) reading the subpoena in the hearing of the witness;
(2) delivering a copy of the subpoena to the witness;
(3) electronically transmitting a copy of the subpoena,
acknowledgment of receipt requested, to the last known electronic
address of the witness; or
(4) mailing a copy of the subpoena by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the witness unless:
(A) the applicant for the subpoena requests in writing that the subpoena not be served by certified mail; or
(B) the proceeding for which the witness is being subpoenaed is set to begin within seven business days after the date the subpoena would be mailed.
