New Mexico small claims courts by county

New Mexico has no separate small claims court: civil cases up to $10,000 go to the Magistrate Court in each county (some counties have two or more locations), or to the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court in Albuquerque. File in the county where you live, where the defendant lives, or where the problem happened.
