I have been sued in a Justice of the Peace (JP) court in Texas. The judge made a hometown decision for the plaintiff. I have appealed this decision to the District Court. What is my next step? Can I handle this matter or should I hire a lawyer? How much time do I have, and is a bond necessary?

I am being sued for showing a fight at my bar without paying Direct TV's license fee. The case is under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C 553 and 605 in Texas. The lawsuit was filed 7 days before 3 years had passed since the alleged violation. I need to know if Texas has established a statute of limitations specific to this case, and if not, what federal statute of limitations applies.
