Preserve the petition, citation, service date, communications, publications, and other evidence; complete the incident log and case-evaluation worksheet; calculate the short statutory deadline from formal service; and promptly consult a qualified lawyer before deciding whether to file an anti-SLAPP motion.
Who this service helps
For a person sued in Texas who believes the claim targets conduct protected by the Texas Citizens Participation Act. Coverage is fact-specific, and an incorrect motion can expose the filer to the other side's legal costs.
