A Texas Summons to Debtor in Involuntary Case is a legal document issued by the court to notify a debtor of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against them. The summons will include the petition number, petition date, case number, court name, and debtor’s name, address, and date of birth. It will also include the date and time of the hearing, the place of the hearing, and instructions for the debtor to answer or appear in court. There are two types of Texas Summons to Debtor in Involuntary Case. The first is a Rule 2004 Summons, which is issued when a creditor files a petition for relief under Chapter 7 or 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The second is a Rule 7001 Summons, which is issued when a debtor files an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In either case, the summons will instruct the debtor to appear in court and answer the petition or otherwise respond within twenty-one days of receiving the summons. If the debtor fails to respond or appear, the court may enter a default judgment against them.
