The District and County courts of Dallas and Denton counties have approved PS-Academy as an instructor of training courses for private process servers in Texas. Planned changes to Rule 103 will not affect anyone who has already taken, or who now takes one of our courses.
PS-Academy will also be seeking state-wide approval for our training courses from the Texas Process Service Review Board as soon as its members are named by the Supreme Court. Once we are granted approval, PS-Academy will be the only school in the state where process servers can come to take fully interactive, totally online training courses to obtain state-wide certification from the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, we are continuing to offer our comprehensive online courses for process servers seeking approval out of the Dallas or Denton courts.

The Texas Private Security Bureau has approved PS-Academy as a school of instruction (N-290), and has approved PSA-101 for six CEUs (continuing education units) for licensed private investigators seeking CEUs toward their license renewal.
We have also made application for a license as a training school with The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCLEOSE) to enable constables, marshals, deputies and other peace officers to obtain certified training at PS-Academy.
------------------------
The courses we offer are comprehensive, and will meet the requirements set by the Texas Supreme Court, covering the historical development of process service, constitutional considerations, special issues relating to family law, and both criminal and civil liability issues that face process servers in Texas today.
PSA-101 can be completed in one 8-hour sitting, or you can take as long as 14-days within which to complete the course and pass the final exam. That way, you can study from your computer at your pace, on your time.
Each course is designed to help you learn and understand Texas and federal laws that govern the service of legal process in Texas; what you can do and what you must do, as well as how to do it; and what not to do so you can avoid problems.
There are six modules. Each module ends with a short quiz. Following completion of the course is a comprehensive final examination that tests your knowledge and proficiency. You must score a minimum of 70% on the final exam before we will issue a Certificate of Proficiency that can be used toward your certification from the Texas Process Service Review Board. The cost of tuition for a course is $50.00.
PS-Academyis not a membership site. You don't need to be listed on our site in order to take a course. Annual registration is only $12.00 a year starting January 1st (that's equal to a dollar a month), increasing your exposure across the state for attorneys looking for process servers.
If you are not registered, or if you're not enrolled as a student, you can still take a course!
After PSA-101, each subsequent course has a prerequisite of a lower-level course. For instance, you can take PSA 2201 only after you have taken PSA 101, and you can take PSA 4100 only after you've taken PSA 2201. But you can't jump into PSA 4100 if you have not first passed both of the lower-level courses.
