A Texas Subpoena to Appear and Testify at a Hearing or Trial in a Bankruptcy Case (or Adversary Proceeding) is a legal document issued by the court that orders a person to appear in court at a certain time and date to give testimony in a bankruptcy case. It is also commonly referred to as a “bankruptcy subpoena”. The recipient of the subpoena must appear in court and provide testimony or documents related to the bankruptcy case. There are two types of bankruptcy subpoenas issued in Texas: 1. The Subpoena to Appear and Testify at a Hearing or Trial in a Bankruptcy Case; and 2. The Subpoena to Appear and Testify at an Adversary Proceeding. A Subpoena to Appear and Testify at a Hearing or Trial in a Bankruptcy Case requires a person to appear in court and provide testimony or documents related to the bankruptcy case. This type of subpoena is typically issued to creditors, witnesses, debtors, or other parties involved in the bankruptcy case. A Subpoena to Appear and Testify at an Adversary Proceeding requires the recipient to appear in court to provide testimony or documents related to an adversary proceeding. Adversary proceedings are lawsuits brought by creditors or the bankruptcy trustee against a debtor, such as a lawsuit to determine whether a debt should be discharged. Both types of Texas Subpoena to Appear and Testify at a Hearing or Trial in a Bankruptcy Case (or Adversary Proceeding) are legally binding documents. The recipient must comply with the subpoena or face legal consequences, such as fines or jail time.
