Texas
I had someone give me a check that has been returned NSF, I have been unable to get the person to make the check goo and to pay for the NSF fees. Therefore, I am ready to tak them to small claims court. My question is I have been told that there is a law that allows be to sue for two times the amount of the check if they do not respond within so many days of receiving notice of the return check by certified mail however, I have not been able to find this law or verbiage so I can quote it in my letter.
I have a a friend in Colorado that received a letter from a lawyer stating this law when he wrote a NSF check and that is how I became aware of it.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
