Texas Justice Court Jurisdiction

The Legislature decided to increase the amount in controversy jurisdictional limits of the Justice and Small Claims Courts to $10,000 (from its previous limit of $5,000) in SB 618. Also, the law, which went into effect on September 1, 2007, clarifies that a corporation need not be represented by an attorney in justice or small claims courts.
