My office prints out and submits an "application for subpoena" in both district and county courts. Filed with the clerk, who then prints out the actual subpoena. The code speaks of an application only in felonies, but I hear some offices are printing out their own subpoenas for the clerk. Is that only for misdemeanors? If not, are you printing out an application for issuance to attach to the actual subpoena itself? Am I just being hypertechnical? I like the idea of printing my own subpoenas b/c it eliminates redundant data entry and the opportunity for error. Couldn't find the case law I needed either.

We do our own. We give the clerks 3 copies of the subpoena. 1 is the application, the other two become the subpoena once the clerks do to it whatever they do to it.

We do an application and the subpoena. It avoid mistakes and speeds things up.
