My father purchased an item from an online seller. After sending the money order, the person "delayed" sending the item for 2 months. He filed suit in small claims court and the seller, in their answer, is claiming to know nothing about this transaction.

Seller is located in Texas as is the county suit. The email address the seller provided in their answer is different than the one my father corresponded with, though the mailing address is the same that he sent the money order to. Seller also provided a discontinued telephone number in their answer.

They are both pro se, simply because the contended amount was somewhere around $2,000 and attorneys fees probably would be steep in comparison.

I guess my question is, if worst comes to worse and this individual is telling the truth or convinces the judge they are telling the truth, how would you proceed with recovery if this woman had indeed gotten her identity stolen? I have access to Westlaw and a few other research tools, is there anything I can look for that would help his case against the seller? (I'm not entirely convinced she's telling the truth because the money was sent to her address and deposited/cashed)
