Small claims court in Dallas TX

[Abraham Kaplan]

I am looking to sue a contractor in small claims court in Dallas TX. I paid him 50% of the rehab budget up front. That was $25,000. All he did was the demo and bought some of the supplies. I've never sued anyone before so I'm not sure how to do that. I checked several services such as legal zoom and legal shield. It doesn't seem that legal zoom can help me. Legal shield said they only assist defendants in law suits. Is there a service that could assist me? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I think small claims court here in Dallas has a max of $10,000 if I remember right.
