Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Email admissable in court

I told a woman via email that I would pay $150 for a vet appt,due to a dog I adpoted from her having heartworms, she is a pet resuce place, but she nows has upped the price after services rendered,to $500 but they were set up through her vet in her name, no signature by me at all, just email conversations. She also has threatened to '' make my life miserable forever''via email, saying I would greatly regret not paying her the full $500 in spite of the invoice showing far less charged.

If I do not pay her the new full price even though I have an invoice that is for far less from her vet. in small claims court can she obligate me beyond the pre agreed $150?Are emails binding? Can I do anything about her email threats?

Re: Email admissable in court

Email messages are admissible as evidence, just like paper writing is. It's proving up the evidence that sometimes gets tricky, but not in Small Claims.
