I was served a summons for a credit card debt I thought had been paid in full. I’m not denying the debt, but I need to know what my next step should be. I am in Texas, and the last payment was made in May 2019. The summons is from JP court, and it says civil citation at the top.

I was selling my dad's house after he passed away and had a contract with a buyer who put up $8000 in earnest money. The buyer didn't show up for closing, asked for an extension but never signed the addendum I sent through DocuSign. I gave him 60 days to close, and the house was 'As Is.' I told him I was keeping the earnest money. He then put a mechanics lien on the house, claiming the money was a down payment and the deal hadn't ended. How can he do that?
