I have a small claims that went into a default judgement. A friend of mine was sueing me for $400.00... and at the end since I missed the court date I ended up owing him $1674.64.
Ok so there was a default judgement placed. I received a letter from the Sheriff regarding the Writ to Execute. So I gave the Sheriff a call and told him I didn't have the money. He asked a few questions and then he tells me... it looks like you have no assets I can take. So he said he will give my friend a call and let him know that I don't have any assets. I asked the Sheriff what happens next... he said at this point really nothing. He said he will send the file back to the court house and whatever other steps my friend wants to take then it's up to him.
My question is what happens at this point? I live in Texas and I do have a homestead exemption on my home. Can they put a lien on my home? Can my bank account be garnished.
Thanks for you help in advance.
