Is there a lawyer in the house

[PureArtistry40]

@fisthardcheese I'm seeking arbitration in two Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC lawsuits. I've already filed with Justice Court the other summons is due next week; I need to clarify if I'm seeking arbitration do I need to answer the request for disclosure, request for production, request for admissions and plaintiff's first set of interrogatories? If so do I need to object with MTC filed or how do I respond.?

 

Thank you in advance.

My opinion is to wait until as close to the deadline to respond as possible (without going over, as they say on the Price is Right).  This gives the opportunity to see if the judge rules on your MTC before the responses are due.  If no ruling or hearing comes before the due date, I would respond with objections to everything stating that the court is improper jurisdiction and that defendant has a pending MTC before the instant case.
