About the Small Claims Court. The Small Claims Court in Texas is created under Chapter 28 of the Texas Government Code. It has concurrent jurisdiction with the Justice Court in actions by any person for the recovery of money in which the amount involved, exclusive of costs, does not exceed $20,000.00.
Also, the petition and citation (the notice from the court to the defendant that they have been sued) must be served on (delivered to) the defendant. This can be done in person or by certified mail or registered mail, and if it is done by mail there must be a return receipt requested, with restricted delivery.

The defendant must appear ready to present proof of any defenses he or she may have to the plaintiffs claim. Each party may offer written records, photographs, other tangible evidence, or the testimony of witnesses who have personal knowledge of the transaction made the basis of the lawsuit.
But, do not wait too long to present your claim. You must file your claim within any applicable statute of limitations. For example, a suit to collect money owed on a contract must be brought within four (4) years. A suit for personal injury or damage to property must be brought within two (2) years.
