The subpoena may also require the witness to produce documents or other objects related to the case. This type of subpoena is issued to citizens of Louisiana or entities subject to its jurisdiction. There are two types of Louisiana Subpoena to Testify at a Deposition in a Civil Action. The first type is a subpoena ad testificandum, which orders a witness to attend a deposition, answer questions, or provide testimony. The second type is a subpoena duces tecum, which requires the witness to produce documents, records, or other tangible evidence.
