Increases the jurisdictional limit from $3,000 to $5,000 for justice courts and increases filing fees

This bill raises the maximum amount justice courts can handle for small claims from $3,000 to $5,000, directly affecting individuals and small businesses filing lawsuits for money owed or property disputes under this limit. It also increases filing fees: from $10 to $15 for claims up to $1,000, and from $15 to $20 for claims over $1,000. The changes apply to cases where the defendant resides, works, or leases property within the court's municipality, and require simplified filing procedures without summons for most small claims. These adjustments aim to modernize small claims court access and costs while maintaining the current streamlined process for eligible cases.
