One of our specialties at The Legal Connection is preparing and overseeing the issuance of Depositions Upon Written Questions (“DWQ”) and Subpoenas Duces Tecum from non-parties. Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 200 guides the issuance of a Notice and Questions. It states: “A party may take the testimony of any person or entity by deposition on written questions before any person authorized by law to take depositions on written questions.” The DWQ can be issued in either an Admissible or Inadmissible format. We tailor the DWQ to your case and have forms to include business, medical, billing, police, cell phone, radiology, dental, academic, mental health, banking, emergency, and social security, to name a few. Keep in mind it is necessary to serve notice on the Witness and all parties at least twenty (20) days before the DWQ is taken. Learn more about the rules of DWQs or Production from a Non-Party.
The Legal Connection database has thousands of forms necessary to process your request. If, however, you have a special need or request, our team will modify the forms to meet your special needs and keep them on file for future use.
Records are digitally stored for your convenience. You can access your documents online anytime, and check the status of your record retrieval requests. The Legal Connection will also convert your records to a format required for easy integration with your document management software.
