QUESTION

Would I have a good case for small claims court?

Asked on Jul 03rd, 2017 on Litigation - Texas
More details to this question:
Over the past two years, I have leant a friend from high school nearly $1600 in various loans. We recently had a falling out and when I asked about getting paid back, she said that there was no way that was going to happen because she had not signed anything that said she would ever pay me back. Do I have a good case for small claims court? I have a record of each transaction on the western union website.

Yes.  Most contracts, including the ones you describe, don't have to be in writing to be enforceable.  Of course, the writing would help you prove your claims, which you ex-friend may now deny, but you can win if the Court believes your testimony.
