Small Claims Courts Bring Speedy Low Cost Justice
The 1953 Texas law created Small Claims Courts to handle money and wage disputes with minimal costs. Justices of the peace serve as judges, filings are simple sworn statements, and hearings aim for swift outcomes with limited attorney need. The system allows jury trials for certain cases and offers appeals to higher courts for amounts over twenty dollars.
