Go to Conciliation court in your jurisdiction, fill out the paperwork to file your suit, and get instructions on proper service of those court documents to the respondent. You will not need an attorney for Conciliation/small claims court. On the day of your hearing, [assuming the opposing party has been properly served], bring with you to court all evidence of your agreement plus any witnesses who could testify to support your case. You may be asked to mediate your case that day, but if not asked to do mediation, you will be required to show all of your evidence to the opposing party and see if you can work out an agreement between you before going before the judge.
If you do present your case to the judge, stick to the allegations in your petition for suit, do not bring in personal extraneous stories or too much unrelated information, judges want to hear the facts and only things that relate to your claim.
Your local courthouse will have pamphlets that describe the small claims / conciliation court process and all of its parts, such as service and appeals.

The first thing you must do is to learn how to spell it. I am also a Texan and am ashamed that you can not even spell sue correctly. You do now "sui" a person in small claim court. You institute a claim against the party. The judge makes the decsion which is binding on both parties and can not be appealed.

I'm in Canada but I think those kind of things shouldn't differ too much. You go to the court house and file a claim. It usually costs about $50. Make sure to have as many details as possible...the person's full name..address..phone number..work number (if you have it)...reason for claim...dates..amount sueing for..if Doctors were involved..the names, addresses and dates. They will ask if you have someone to deliver this also...If the person you put a claim against misses the court date ..you win case ...otherwise the judge goes by facts ...so have as many facts available with proof if possible.

You can do it all yourself. Go to your local District Court and they will have the form for you to fill out, and will set the date, etc. Very easy.

use google...better yet, telephone your small claims court...they are in your telephone book and will be more than glad to tell you of the required forms, etc. this is like asking how high is up.....dumb question.
