Lawsuits are not private matters. Information on suits including the names of the parties are available to the public to look up at the courthouse. The issue here is whether the method of service is in concert with the Due Process clause of the US Constitution based upon well founded case law decided by the Supreme Court. Does electronic notice equal personal service or certified mail; or is electronic service only available after a court decides that alternate service is required. If passed this modification of the Rules of Procedure and the Civil Practices and Remedies Code will surely end up before the Texas Supreme Court.

I've never been served, so I don't know the laws regarding privacy. I am all for using technology, but the publicity of social media for a possibly private matter bothers me.
