The plaintiff can file his
Submitted by Staff_Writer on
The plaintiff can file his claim where he sees fit assuming the court has proper jurisdiction to hear the matter. For example, the claim must be filed in the county where you reside or where the cause of action arose. In Texas, the jurisdictional limit of the small claims courts is $10,000. If the plaintiff wants to waive the additional funds he claims he is entitled to in order to file in this court, than the court may allow the plaintiff to do so. In addition, the Texas peace courts can also hear matters up to $10,000. If you want to file a motion to dismiss based upon the amount in controversy, contact an experienced Texas attorney to determine how to file the motion without entering an appearance in the case.
