Okay, I'm confused. My anecdote, which comes from Australia, indicates a 100% expectation of a judge. Are you saying that in Texas, a $US6K matter is likely to be considered too vexatious/trivial to receive a trial?

Or is it actually possible to decline a lawsuit in the USA?

This is an "explain it to me like I'm five years old" moment. I really don't know what you guys are talking about.

His point is that the OP (ie. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29719047) is refusing to sue, so there's no case to bring before a court. Everything else is irrelevant. Even if you'll obviously win, but you don't sue, it's not the state's job to file lawsuits for you.
