What Special Delivery Service does

Special Delivery Service (legal name: Special Delivery Services) was a Dallas, Texas-based provider of technology-driven service of process and skip tracing services for law firms and legal professionals operating within Texas. The firm delivered legal document serving with integrated technology for tracking and accountability, addressing the compliance and reliability needs of litigation matters under Texas jurisdiction. Its go-to-market was direct B2B sales to law firms in a single-state, niche professional services model, and it competed primarily on local jurisdictional expertise rather than scale.

The company's revenue model was professional services–based transactional billing for service of process engagements, with skip tracing offered as an ancillary capability. No public pricing, product listings, or detailed technology stack were disclosed beyond the characterization "technology-driven." The company was acquired by Proceed (formerly Counsel Press) on November 7, 2025, as part of a broader consolidation roll-up that also included Rapid Legal, LegalConnect, and Court Record Research, and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Proceed's nationwide e-filing, service of process, dispute management, and appellate services platform.
