Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Representing Self - Answer to Petition

I was sued by a creditor and I want to file an Answer myself. How do I title the Answer and what wording do I use if I have a general denial and also an affirmative defense that the debt was in violation of the Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act and the Texas Business and Financial Code and also the Constitution of the State of Texas, Article XVI. Are these one and the same law or two different laws? Do I also need to provide an affidavit? I know I need to send a copy of my Answer to opposing counsel, certified mail. Anything else I need to know?

The Answer is titled, "ANSWER". As to the rest, I suggest hitting the county law library for the form books and other useful information. Pro se is pro se.
