    Freeze on bank account due to a judgement
    I have a bank account with just two deposits both direct from federal agencies.
    One is social security and the other is disability retirement from postal system.
    There are no comingled funds.
    In the state of Texas I have a judgement against me.
    Is this legaly enforceable to freeze my account and if not what are the codes of law that may be sighted that back up the non enforcable jugement.
    In other words are these funds exempt?

    Once money is in the bank, it is money and can be attached,

    The actual check itself can not be garnished, so stop the direct deposits and get mailed a phsycial check.
