re: OT Lawyers ?: Subpoenaed in Texas but I live in NY (do I have to go?)

Not sure if this would apply, but

quote:

Texas rule 199.1(b) on "Depositions by telephone or other remote electronic means" reads: "A party may take an oral deposition by telephone or other remote electronic means if the party gives reasonable prior written notice of intent to do so. For the purposes of these rules, an oral deposition taken by telephone or other remote electronic means is considered as having been taken in the district and at the place where the witness is located when answering the questions. The officer taking the deposition may be located with the party noticing the deposition instead of with the witness if the witness is placed under oath by a person who is present with the witness and authorized to administer oaths in that jurisdiction."

Probably doesn't apply to being an actual witness. Just talk to the people who called you about you options.
