Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
I am involved in a lawsuit with an attorney representing Citibank S.D, over credit card debt. I was served about 6 weeks ago, and I filed my answer. About 3 weeks ago, I was sent a plaintiff's request for documents, disclosures, admissions and interrogatories. I t states that I have 30 days to respond to them. I am considering filing for bankruptcy, or even reaching a settlement with the plaintiff, however I haven't reached a firm decision. I am having difficulty understanding how to fill out the document. Should I do the best I can, or ignore it because I might file chapter 7? A trial date has not been set as of yet.

BE SURE TO MAIL THE ORIGINAL TO THE PLAINTIFF'S LAWYER - certified mail - and keep a copy.
And be sure to pay a jury fee. Go down to the courthouse, talk to the clerks, and pay the fee. It will be around $30.
