Can you sue someone in smalls claims court if they reside in a different state?
I was in a long distance relationship with a girl that lives in Florida. I live in Texas. Since we were traveling back and forth quite a bit, I gave her my credit card to use in case of an emergency. She understood the emergency criteria and abided by it for a short time. Long story short, she racked up over $4000 on this credit card, including a trip to Europe. She verbally agreed to pay me back and made 3 token payments but has since refused to make anymore payments. (Our relationship ended 7 months ago).
She refused to sign a promissory note, but there is a long chain of emails outlining the debt, the request for repayment, the acknowledgement of the debt and a recent attempt by her to settle for $1500 with no guarantee of payment.
Can I sue her in Texas and are there any issues I should investigate further?
