Can damage for libel be sought in Texas small claims?

[sigtauenus]

What is the name of your state? My state: VA, offender in what I'm going to describe: TX.

Short version, person made an action that constitutes libel under Texas law, and I can prove it to be untrue.

Can I sue for damages in small claims court under Texas law? I know several states do not allow libel suits in small claims court, but cannot find anything about Texas being among them.

If anybody wants the details, I have about 4 pages typed that describes the situation and evidence I will use.

There are thousands of posts similar to yours so I have prepared a standard answer:

Get a lawyer.

Invest $20K and three years.

Sue the bad people for defamation.

If you win, expect them to keep doing it.

If you lose, expect them to keep doing it.
