Nothing, until you are successfully served...you have the right to show up in court to defend yourself...however, if they find you, I don't think you can refuse service of process. Once the papers are in your hand, you're under the court's jurisdiction and you have to appear or face a default judgment.

There are alternatives. The plaintiff can go into court to get permission to serve by leaving the summons and complaint on your door and mailing it to you by regular mail, called nail and mail. If the plaintiff does not even know where you live or work, the court might give permission to serve the summons and complaint by publishing it in the legal notice section of the classified ads in your city's newspaper. The court may also refuse to do that as long as there is a reasonable prospect that you are not dodging process but actually don't know and can't be found.

The sheriff can secure the summons to your doorknob and will submit it as served. If you do not attend the hearing a judgment will be taken against you.
