Go to the clerk's office of the local general district court in the locality
where your personal property is allegedly being wrongfully distrained, i.e,.
withheld from your rightful possession and tell them that you wish to file what's
called a Warrant in Detinue.
The clerk should then provide you with the paperwork that needs to be completed in order for your lawsuit to go forward.
