ok you guys convinced me, no demand letter lol
Next question.
I live in city X. She lives in city Y.
The Promissory Note contract was signed in my city X.
She was living with me at the time of signature.
Distance between both cities is 30 minutes.
Contract does not state the location of the court house venue.
Looks like the self help rules are as follows:
Where Do I File a Small Claims Case?
- In the precinct and county where the defendant lives,
- In the precinct and county where the contract was going to be performed, if it is a contract case,
- In the precinct and county where the damage to property or injury to the plaintiff occurred, or
- In the precinct and county where the personal property the plaintiff is suing for is located.
I would prefer to file the case in my city, X, so that I don't have to drive to city Y. Can I do this?
There is an option on the efile to pay $75 extra for Service by Constable to serve defendant.
Will the $75 fee cover the cost for constable to drive to city Y to serve defendant if I file in my city X.
Or does this service only cover the city where it is filed.
Thanks
