Sued by Midland Credit Management in Texas for 4k, need advice

Location: Texas

I am not trying to dispute it, I recognize it is my debt, I kept hoping one of the many companies it went through would eventually make an offer for less than what I owed and then get some sort of payment plan.

Anyone have any recommendations on steps to follow now?

Is there anything else I can do in this situation, I am guessing since I have confirmed with the county that there is a lawsuit I am essentially screwed?

Per the MCM website it shows
Legal status: A lawsuit is pending
