Legal advice

[ScubaLatt]

Ok, guys, I need some help. There has to be at least one lawyer on here. I gave a Texas hunting outfitter over in Tom Green county an $1800 deposit for 6 hunters back in October. The hunt was supposed to take place the 2nd weekend in January. Well the rancher called me 1 week prior to the hunt to cancel on me due to the fact that the deer were not showing up and that his aunt died and he had to help with family business. Fine, not a problem. I would rather an honest outfitter over a dishonest one. He could have let the guys go hunting and say that it was some other reason for no deer.

Here's the situation. I have yet to get my deposit back. He has told me on several occassions over the past month and a half that he will get it to me "next week". Now he won't return phone calls or email.

Question is: Can I sue him in Calcasieu Parish or do I have to file suit in Tom Green County?

TIA
