Re: Filing a written answer to plaintiffs petition

Write back to the court, identifyng the case and cause number, either stating that you deny the plaintiff's allegations, or explaining your position regarding the validity of the lawsuit. Make sure you follow the time set out in the citation.

Send a copy of your letter to the plaintiff's attorney, or the plaintiff if they don't have an attorney.
