I am being sued by a junk buyer and they submitted an affidavit showing the chain of title from original credit. If the affidavit is not followed by state law could that be a reason to get the case dismissed?
Hello ****, if the affidavit doesn't comply with your state's law, it may be challenged. However, it doesn't guarantee case dismissal. It depends on factors like your state's laws and the judge's discretion. May I know which state you're located in?
Lawsuit is in Texas, but affidavit is from florida
In Texas, an out-of-state affidavit might not be accepted if it doesn't comply with Texas laws. Here are the relevant points:
- Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 166a(f) covers affidavits.
- Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code *.* is about unsworn declarations.
However, it's up to the judge's discretion. Legal representation is always recommended.
