Does Texas allow wage garnishment or bank account levy for unsecured loan? What happens with a judgement?

Posted twice and previously answered:

"Texas does NOT allow wage garnishment for consumer debt so your salary is safe; they CAN place a lien on your home; Texas DOES allow levy of bank accounts, seizure and sale of non exempt property and liens against real property although a sale of a PRIMARY residence cannot be forced and the lien just basically sits there until satisfied or the proeprty is sold.

Texas is a community property state - some joint marital property can be seized, levied or liened when only one spouse is the debtor."
