Re: Small claims court

The legislature abolished "Small Claims Court" in 2013. There are still "small claims" that operate under different, hopefully less complex, rules, just not a court by that name. I guess it is called "Justice Court" now.

This might or might not help. How to Sue in Justice Court. It's on the Texas Bar website. The copyright date on this one is 2013, not sure if that is the latest or not, you probably should double check.

I know how you feel. Will Fix It screwed me out of a day off one time when, at the time I called and made the initial appointment, they failed to tell me that the responding technician would call 30 minutes prior to his arrival and if I didn't answer he would cancel the call and go to his next one. I went out to feed the horse about 30 minutes prior and found the voicemail from the tech saying he cancelled because I didn't answer. When I called the scheduler immediately (voicemail less than 2 minutes old) they refused to redirect the technician even tho he had just called. The were a pain in the tookus about rescheduling and remarkably unfriendly about the whole deal -- I got a huge runaround trying to get it fixed, and none of their schedulers or supervisors seemed to think that not telling me about the pre-visit call was a problem. Luckily I hadn't given them any money yet, so better off than you, and I went with a different contractor.

Good luck.
