Texas law for judgments
A judgment has been ruled that I owe my landlord $8100 dollars for back rent. It's a long story, so I won't tell it.
In Texas, what methods can they use to collect this money? I own no property here. Can they attach wages etc? I should have got a lawyer! Thanks |

"Texas Wage Garnishment Wages cannot be attached or garnished, except for child support. Income that is not a wage can be garnished or ordered turned over to a receiver. Bank accounts, rents and royalties can be garnished. Exemptions include social security benefits. WARNING For individuals living in Texas who are paid from an out of state location, there is case law (Baumgardner vs. Sou Pacific 177 S.W. 2d 317) to support taking a judgment from Texas, domesticating the judgment in the foreign state, then filing the wage garnishment there. Many creditors have used this strategy successfully." State wage garnishment and attachment rules |
