Agents of transient merchants
Official statutory text
Each person designated by a transient merchant as his agent in
the application for a license shall be a resident of the county and
shall be an agent of the transient merchant upon whom any process,
notice, or demand required or permitted by law to be served upon the
transient merchant may be served. The agent shall agree in writing
to act as such agent and a copy of the agreement to so act shall be
filed by the applicant with the application for a license.
The court clerk of each county shall maintain an alphabetical
list of all transient merchants in the county and the names and
addresses of their agents.
If any transient merchant doing business or having done business
in any county within the state shall fail to have or maintain an
agent in the county or if such agent cannot be found at his
permanent address, the court clerk shall be an agent of such
transient merchant for service of all process, notices, or demands.
Service on the court clerk shall be made by delivery to and leaving
with him or any person designated by the clerk to receive such
service, duplicate copies of the process, notice, or demand. When
any such process, notice, or demand is served on the clerk, he shall
immediately cause one copy thereof to be forwarded by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the permanent address
of the transient merchant. The provisions of this section shall not
limit or otherwise affect the right of any person to serve any
process, notice, or demand in any other manner now or hereafter
authorized by law.
