I received a small claims/debt claim case citation in my current county in Texas. It requires me to respond within fourteen days. I believe my debt was sold to a third party. Is this a scam, and if not, what should I do given my current financial situation (unemployed, taking care of disabled children, and dependent on my husband's income)?

My domestic indoor cat has bitten my wife twice in two years. The first incident was while clipping her nails, and the second was while applying flea medication. The cat is current on her vaccinations, including rabies, and is not aggressive but gets scared when handled. My wife went to urgent care for both bites and was prescribed amoxicillin. After the second bite, we had to quarantine the cat for two weeks, after which a Department of Health representative cleared us and lifted the quarantine. Our concern is whether this second incident subjects us to any more severe intervention, such as the cat being taken away or euthanized.
