Abstract: The local stability of the equilibrium for a general class of state-dependent delay equations of the form

$\begin{displaymath}\dot x(t)=f\left(x_t, \int^0_{-r_0}\,d\eta(s)g(x_t(-\tau(x_t)+s))\right)\end{displaymath}$

has been studied under natural and minimal hypotheses. In particular, it has been shown that generically the behavior of the state-dependent delay $\tau$ (except the value of $\tau)$ near an equilibrium has no effect on the stability, and that the local linearization method can be applied by treating the delay $\tau$ as a constant value at the equilibrium.
