• Art. 0.5: UNIFORM BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS CODE
• Ch. 4: Registered Agent of Entity

Text

(a) A represented entity may be served with
any process, notice, or demand required or permitted by law by serving
its registered agent.
(b) If a represented entity ceases to have a registered agent, or if its
registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, the entity
may be served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
or by similar commercial delivery service, addressed to the entity at the
entity's principal office. The address of the principal office of a
domestic filing entity or registered foreign entity must be as shown in
the entity's most recent biennial report filed by the secretary of state.
Service is effective under this subsection on the earliest of:
(1) the date the entity receives the mail or delivery by the
commercial delivery service;
(2) the date shown on the return receipt, if signed by the entity; or
(3) five (5) days after its deposit with the United States Postal
Service or commercial delivery service, if correctly addressed and
with sufficient postage or payment.
(c) If process, notice, or demand cannot be served on an entity under
subsection (a) or (b), service may be made by handing a copy to the
individual in charge of any regular place of business or activity of the
entity if the individual served is not a plaintiff in the action.
(d) Service of process, notice, or demand on a registered agent must
be in a written record, but service may be made on a commercial
registered agent in other forms, and subject to such requirements, as the
agent has stated in its listing under section 4 of this chapter that it will
accept.
(e) Service of process, notice, or demand may be made by other
means under law other than this article.
