Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

Back in 2007 my former employer let me borrow money for the closing of my home from the town I was relocating from. I signed a letter stating I would pay they back $220 per pay period until it was paid off. The letter also stated that in the event that I left the company, whether by by choice of theirs, the loan would be required to be paid in full within 60 days.

On 07/10/2009 I was laid off. At that time I signed an "Employee State of Accounts" form that did not show me owing the company anything at the time of my release. I never received any other communication from them until yesterday, 03/18/10, when I was server papers that I was being sued for the remainder of the loan. The papers state that I was given a certified letter dated 10/01/09 requesting payment, but I never received this letter.

What are my options here?
