How might I file a defamation lawsuit in Texas Pro Se?

Q: Help Please,I want to find the forms, templates or examples of filings for a defamation lawsuit in Texas. I will be representing myself and will also be the plantiff. I have searched for attorneys in my area but out of 3 who claim to handle these suits only one returned my call. I have already determined that the statue of limitations is one year so the clock is ticking.

A: At the outset, let me warn you that defamation is not easy to prove. Also, the law itself can become complicated, depending on your particular facts. If you live in a small town, I strongly suggest you seek out specialized attorneys in Houston, Dallas, or Austin before proceeding yourself. In all honesty, I think proceeding yourself in such a complicated area of law is a bad idea.That said, to answer your question, your best bet is to go to your nearest law school library. Law libraries have forms books that are made for attorneys. Ask the librarian for any forms books regarding defamation lawsuits. The librarian should be able to direct you to any forms books that contain model complaints for a defamation lawsuit.
