How much can I sue for in small claims court in Texas?
Answered for: Texas
civil matters in which exclusive jurisdiction is not in the district or county court and in which the amount in controversy is not more than $20,000, exclusive of interest;
The statute sets the small claims limit at $20,000, Applies to civil matters in which exclusive jurisdiction is not in the district or county court. Amount is exclusive of interest.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
