Okay, you reside in the greatest state in the union, Texas.
That is very good, when these creeps try to sue you.
Bad news, yes, you can be sued in county court.
Very few attorneys waste their time suing anyone in JP court.
But, the good news is, that is Texas; your personal bank account can not be levied against to satisfy a civil judgment relative to personal debt.
The other good news is, no, they can not take your home.
They can place a lien on your home.
But, that will not cause you to be evicted.
In Texas, a debt owed to a private party can not be used to foreclose against your home.
In Texas, we are protected by Homestead Exemptions.
These Homestead Exemptions are rooted in our state's constitution.
So, here's is what you do.
If you're sued, attend every court date.
All you need do, if they sue you, is DENY everything.
Do not admit to ANYTHING.
If they persist, ask them to produce the original contract they allege you signed.
They won't, because they can't, because they don't have it!
Going forward, STOP communicating with these creeps.
Change your telephone number.
Tell the telephone company you want your number changed because you've been receiving lots of harassing, annoying, prank calls.
They might waive the number change fee.
Tell them that you want an unlisted, unpublished number.
Tell them to provide no information about the new number to anyone, and do not provide your new number in the termination message for the current one.
Do NOT give your new number out to ANYONE.
If someone requests a number, just give them your old one.
Don't even give the new number to the pizza delivery guy.
If you give it to relatives and friends, tell them to NOT share it with anyone.
If you receive papers for court, served by a deputy, simply follow the instructions on the subpoena or summons.
Remember, DENY, DENY, DENY; and do not speak to these crooks again!
They are trying to intimidate you into paying something you no longer owe. or maybe never owed!
Do I deny in county court. the trk was repo 4 mouth ago by the credit union a Im being sued by the credit union.

Read my post very carefully.
Every answer you seek is in my post.
If you can't understand it, ask someone to explain it to you.
You're being sued in county court because you probably owe more than $10,000. That is the small claims maximum.
If things are still unclear, maybe you need to hire an attorney.
Bottom line, there is very little that can be dine to you in this case, even if they get a judgment against you.
They can't take your house.
They can't take your wages.
They can't even attach your personal bank account.
They're harassing you to intimidate you into paying them.
Good luck.

You respond with a general denial.
I've posted a "sample" of one below.
This isn't necessarily how the court in your county wants it to look.
You might want to contact the court.
You need to complete the details that are left blank with your details.
Or, you need to HIRE an attorney.
There is only one thing worse than ignoring a lawsuit, and that is doing it incorrectly.
If you have NO MONEY, you COULD ignore this.
All the greedy attorneys will get is a judgment.
If you own a home, they will place a lien against your home, but they can't force its sale!!!
If this worries you, you really need to speak with an attorney in your county, ASAP!
