I received a subpoena via fax for documents to be sent to a lawyer in Texas. The subpoena is from
Texas and we are located in Massachusetts.

Additional Details:
What is the validity of this subpoena?
Legal Topic Area: Business Litigation in MA

As a general matter, subpoenas issued in state-court proceedings in another state are without extraterritorial effect -- in other words, invalid

The foregoing is not legal advice.
