Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

Attaining Receipts

I recently had some work done on my car or so I thought. It was an independent shop who did the work, but I insisted on dealer parts. Recently one of the parts that was supposed to be fixed is failing, and it made me question all of the work, so I called the dealership where the parts were purchased from. When I talked to the dealership they told me that the parts were returned for a full refund from the independent shop. I asked to get a copy of the returned recipts and they said NO. I am thinking about taking this to small claims court. How can I get the dealer to give me a copy of the receipts?

Also, the independent shop offered to do the tear down of the vehicle to check and replace the parts if necessary, but I do not trust them and told them that I want a unbiased third party to do it. I am going forward with this and having a local dealer inspect and replace the parts if they are not the original parts shown to me on the dealer receipts. I am wondering if I am right and these parts are either the old parts or from a discount parts store should I be able to get a refund of what it costs me to replace all parts plus labour in small claims court. Cost less than $1200. Again, also how do I get the receipts from the dealer?
