We live in Texas which does not have a wage garnishment except for child support and taxes, can the judgement transfer to another state that my husband gets paid out of that does have a garnishment law? We have been in Texas for 13 years.

What state did the judgement occur in? Your husband's wages cannot be attached unless the plaintiff gets a writ of garnishment from the court that issued the judgement. If the judgement occurred in Texas and Texas does not permit garnishment then the plaintiff would not have been able to get a writ of garnishment. But if the judgement occurred in a state that does permit garnishment then the plaintiff could have gotten a writ of garnishment, which they would then have to serve on your husband's employer in order to actually garnish his wages.

This is a unique question, If I understand it, your husband works for a company not located in Texas and his paycheck is issued out of another state.

A judgement can be held valid in another state.

I am not up on case law on this issue, if a company that is located in a state where garnishment is allowed, issues the check, to a person in a state where it is not allowed, can the mone be garnished.?

I am interested in learning that one myself.
