In order to check if a subpoena has been issued, you need to check with the "Clerk of the Court" of the judge who may have issued the Subpoena.

For example, if its a criminal subpoena. A good place to start is at your local City Clerk courthouse, or district courthouse County Clerk. They should have a record on file.

You must first be involved in a lawsuit. During the discovery phase of the suit, you will need to file a subpoena with the court, then the court will send out a process server to deliver the document. The link goes into more detail about the specifics of the process.
