Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Being Sued

I have sole ownership in a small company that is incorporated. At one time I planned to partner with a person who agreed to invest and become a partner. Before any documents were signed she begin purchasing things for the company, some of which I did not approve or agree upon. She left after about 2 months. We never signed anything. She is now sueing me for the money she spent. I did tell her I would pay her back (via email) but I did not state any amount or what is was for. I had planned to pay her back for some things because I felt bad for her. However, she wrote a check for a tradeshow and it was returned NSF. I know it was done intentionally. She never contacted me to let me know. As a result I lost my space. I usually earn 6-10,000 at the show. Furthermore, I have been told that this person had a sale where she sold my products for which she is asking that I reimburse her. However, I cannot prove it. She is now sueing me in small claims court. Do you think I will lose if she shows her receipts and the email? Also, is it appropriate that she is sueing me personally instead of the corporation? Should I just pay her? Thank you.
