Re: small claims court

You can enter a sister-state judgment taken in Texas in any other state or territory in the USA. You need to get a certified copy of the judgment, plus what is known in Texas as a Congressional Certification. You will need an attorney in the state where you want to file the Texas judgment because that attorney will get the judgment entered and attempt to collect on the judgment.

You really can't do it remotely from Texas with any chance of success.
