If an individual sues me claiming I did substandard construction work, and I can prove they are only after money, can I counter-sue for their initiating a frivolous lawsuit, requesting compensation for attorney/legal fees and damages for wasting my time if the court agrees with me and the person loses?

I filed a garnishment at a local main branch of Chase Bank, but they are requiring me to serve them in Dallas through a 3rd party. They won't put a hold on any account without me sending a service out of my city (Austin) and serving them in Dallas. Doesn't this change venue, and why do I have to serve a third party 'processing' agent? I have a final judgment against the party whose bank account I want to garnish. Could someone clarify this?

A friend and I had a disagreement and exchanged several non-threatening texts and emails. She now says if I don't stop, she will get a restraining order. We live 400 miles apart, and I have a key to her house, which she perceives as a threat. I mailed the key back to her. Am I at any risk of legal action?
