Best Answer

You can be sued in the county where the claim originates. No matter who the plaintiff/defendant are or where they live. In other words, say you live in Smith County. You sell John Q. Public, who lives in Canada, a painting claiming it is an authentic Monet. He finds out that it was actually painted by your 6 year old neice. He can sue you in the court located in Smith County. He can petition that the case be heard at another courthouse but it has to be originally filed in the county where the claim originated.

Maybe, whether or not diversity jurisdiction applies is determined by the facts of the case in question. Any civil case between a US citizen and a citizen of Another Country can be filed in a US Federal Court if the suit is for $10,000 or more. The state in which the US defendant lives usually determines which federal court will have jurisdiction.
