    Credit Card Judgement
    My spouse and I recently received a "Citation".. ie judgement from prior unpaid cc dept. I live in the state of TX - as I understand the law, the court c/not place a lien on my property.. Homestead State.. This prior dept is 5yrs old and will expire off my c report in 2 yrs.. financially, we are unable to pay.. we were served with an order to appear - do we have to abide by the order?. or can we simply ignore the order?
