What is the small claims court limit in Florida?

The limit for small claims cases in Texas is $10,000. In small claims court cases, judges can only award money; they cannot order someone to "do" or not "do" something. If your case involves more than $10,000, or if you want to win something other than money, you must take your case to another court. If you decide that small claims court is right for you, you file your small claims case in Justice Court. According to the Texas State Bar Association, if there is more than one justice of the peace in a county, then a small claim normally must be made in the court whose precinct covers the area where the defendant resides. There are a number of self-help resources available online for people who want to file small claims cases.

There is no court named "Small Court" so I assume you are asking about Small Claims Court. In NJ, there is no separate "Small Claims Court" - all small claims cases are heard in the Special Civil Part of the Civil Division of Superior Court in each county. To find your local information, use the related link below. Select your county and look for that county's Superior Court - Civil Division. That will be the contact information for small claims cases. The link to the court website is the court name in blue; the court website will have details about small claims cases in that county.
