Small claims courts generally handle civil claims for less than $7500 in CA. There are limitations other than just the dollar amount though, for instance, there are limits on the use of CA small claims courts by businesses and organizations. I found this information on the Court Reference page for CA. Court Reference is a great website to check out for this type of information. If you want to delve further into small claims issues in CA, you can click over to the CR website and select "self help" from the drop down menu, and you will find lots of great location-specific information and links.
In California, small claims court allows individuals to represent themselves without legal counsel, which is encouraged. However, lawyers and paralegals are not permitted to represent clients in small claims court, except in very limited circumstances, such as when a corporation is a plaintiff or defendant. Therefore, if you are an individual, you must represent yourself in small claims court.
Most small claims courts require you to file where the defendant resides. To find out what the case is in your jurisdiction, contact the clerk of court where you live to see if you can file against an out of state defendant there.
No, filing a false FTA (failure to appear) in a California small claims court is not a misdemeanor. It is a civil matter and can result in a judgment against the individual who failed to appear. Criminal charges may be pursued in extreme cases of intentional deception or fraud.

I can't answer your question specifically for TX. Here's some general information on that http://proagency.tripod.com/skp-ca-cl.html http://www.small-claims-courts.com/collection-small-claims.html for more info. see www.steveshorr.com/law.htm They can file an "abstract of judgement" against you
Yes, it can be garnished by a collection agency (CA). What happens is that the original credit sells the debt to the CA. Then the CA owns the debt. The CA tries to collect from you. If you don't pay, they can sue you. If they sue you and win a judgment, they can garnish your wages. Of course, the CA may be suing you for debts that are not yours or where the statute of limitations has expired! Learn your rights by reading up on the FDCPA.
If the plaintiff doesn't show up in a California small claims court, the case may be dismissed. The defendant may also ask for a dismissal due to the plaintiff's absence. The judge will typically rule in favor of the defendant if the plaintiff is not present to present their case.
If she does not have any kind of contract where you agreed to pay back half of the costs, then you will probably win. You will just need to argue that it was a gift and she did not want money until you broke up with her.
