judgement in texas

mandy12 · #1 May 7, 2008, 08:06 AM

I have a judgement against me in for about 9000. I want to pay but cannot come up with all the money at once. What can they do in texas. I am married and want to know if property that is in my jusbands name can be seized. What about joint bank accounts. I plan to continue to pay on this debt and should be able to get it taken care of in six months but they will not work with me any longer. What do i do now.

Texas exempts 100% of wages from garnishment.

Here is a link with much information that should help you with the many issues you could
be facing.

Wage Garnishments -- Bankruptcy Exemptions -- State Statutes -- Texas

Good luck!

A judgment creditor can make your life miserable, generally. Set up a payment plan with the best terms you can get; just call the creditor's attorney. If they head toward garnishment, then your wages and bank accounts are fair game, so don't let them have that information.
