Tex. R. Civ. P. 686
Citation
Upon the filing of such petition and order not pertaining to a suit pending in the court, the clerk of
such court shall issue a citation to the defendant as in other civil cases, which shall be served and
returned in like manner as ordinary citations issued from said court; provided, however, that when
a temporary restraining order is issued and is accompanied with a true copy of plaintiff's petition,
it shall not be necessary for the citation in the original suit to be accompanied with a copy of
plaintiff's petition, nor contain a statement of the nature of plaintiff's demand, but it shall be
sufficient for said citation to refer to plaintiff's claim as set forth in a true copy of plaintiff's petition
which accompanies the temporary restraining order; and provided further that the court may have
a hearing upon an application for a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction at such
time and upon such reasonable notice given in such manner as the court may direct.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
