Best Answer

Case law should be used as a means of interpreting statutory law. Statutory law is held higher than case law. Case law can be overturned in the process of interpreting and applying statutory law, but statutory law cannot be overturned, only amended. If analyzing law, see statutes first, and apply case law second as a means of defining the statute.

Live in Texas you will receive a summons in a few days but its been 8 years how do you respond?

I assume you mean "it's been 8 years from the time the dispute occurred." If so, the statute of limitations likely bars the lawsuit. A local attorney can tell you the statute of limitations for the case. If the statute of limitations has expired for the case, it is a good idea to have the attorney draft an answer form to the complaint including an affirmative defense of statute of limitations expiration. If you do not have an attorney draft an answer, be sure to add statute of limitations expiration as an affirmative defense in your answer to the summons and complaint.
