Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

I have a small claims court case in Texas. The amount owed the Plaintiff (us) is $15K. We have asked to settle for $7500. The Defendant is challenging the suit because they say it is $15K and cannot be changed to be within the jurisdiction of Small Claims Court in Texas. The Hearing on Jurisdiction is January 11, 2011. We would like to file a Motion for Mediation or a Summary Judgment following the Hearing. Do we do both or which one? Kaye Coddington

mediation is a waste of money if defendant can't pay..you should ask the Court to set for trial and if you get a judgment for $7600...you may find assets/property to take to be paid..but i Texas most property is exempt..so good luck
