Sued In Another State That We Do Ot Stay

[Redman]

we went a small company and then we started initially to have our data hacked into our computer afterwords. A couple of months in to the company a unidentified person claimed requested a product from us and he claimed to then to have SETTLED  to purchase it, however we've no report of any request something, and stated it, then we started initially to get threats, and then he did this against our kids and called them,additionally we got telephone calls and this scumbag quit many threats that he was on his solution having a weapon on voicemal, which law enforcement stated he was perhaps only furious or even to discourage us. Then we sent him a professional notice to cease and desist. A week ago he submitted a smal statements in his state against me and not the company in his state of tx and delivered it to us vuia a [rocess host, which we also didn't signal something for that notice, but we're in l a florida. Additionally though he published our house address properly but he put a business address where we've no business whatsoever and mispelled my name. We've no signed agreement with this specific individual whatsoever. The little claims court is requesting to us to react. We feel that he's no juristiction since he's in another state, then since we've no signed agreements with this scumbag we must inform their courtroom this, or any recommendations?

Laymans consider: The overall issue is that the local DJ may observe it how a plaintiff provides it -and ptotect the local good men obviously-- -and if he gets a default reasoning in Texas and domesticates it into California you've some issues to get it removed off--so you may need certainly to pay keen focus on banging the state out in advance---and the facts are beyond me and best mentioned to Texas lawyer in that region. Within an economical sense you're being extorted to pay him or pay your attorney!   The people risks aren't truly related in an answer. Was your company included?  Was the incorrect organization called in the match? Usually to get a small-claims activity legislation inTX is where in actuality the offender exists. But there's some  Texas wiggle-room regarding  legislation  where in actuality the agreement will be done. Dental agreements continue to be enforceable--but so how exactly does one-get same using a compromised computer? Seems irrational. Large issue is if you supply "incorrect" solutions they are able to and is likely to be turned against you. I believe you're much smarter to interact nearby Texas counsel.

yes, but they said that they don't have the full time, and he was out-of state,to alter our telephone number, which we did, likewise the legal help here in florida said that he'd have to sue us within this state here in l a, not texas, but when you said to have the problem ignored by the texas judge of small-claims by giving them a notice to ignore because anyone can sue everywhere. Somebody got our brand and employed a tackle not mine and that I ought to show this individual in another state we've nothing to complete with them, and then because we've no signed agreement with this scumbag to dismiss him.since in the future and prosecute us within florida We simply are now actually scared this sco;route may continue

Its essential that you protect whilst the price to unwrap it if you give the adversary a low-cost success is likely to be even greater. This person has likely drawn an identical shakedown of others before --you're in way over your face to increase against such a lizard w/o lawyer. Is/was your TX company included?  In Texas its really simple for the offender to file a counter claim against  plaintiff for something associated with the  plaintiffs claim that's withing range of SC courtroom to listen to. I'm-not certain what reasonable counter-claims occur---however, if the plaintiffs coughing into your pc (and you may create  that he hacked it) price you declare $1565 to get a support company in the future in and straighten out your issues you may try that?

no I am not waiting, I have a legal aid lawyer  reseaching it with other attorneys that are interested in closing this type of lawsuits.
The predident they found so far is that texas residents have to prove that we solicited buisness in texas which we did not

[Renshaw]

How can a civil lawsuit be enforced in another state? I have no idea this type of behavior is legal

[DAry]

It is legitimate. When the view is released within the additional state it could be trained in your state by joining it together with your regional courtroom. Subsequently it may be forced from the plaintiff during your regional courtroom. That is why you've to effectively protect oneself from this kind of point and not dismiss it.

You acquired the summons and complaint from the procedure machine. There's no necessity that you sign for this. Which means you were properly supported and have a restricted period to properly document an answer. Here is a handful of Texas areas which have small-claims info: http://www.co.denton.t... http://www.co.bexar.tx... Even though it could be better to consider the courtroom site of the region where in actuality the suit was filed. Let's face it, you're planning to require a Texas lawyer to react for you as you'll have to deal with location and events and it's unlikely something you could determine for DIY. And if you fail (which can be exactly what the fanatic is relying on) you end up getting a default view and all of the effects that entails.
