    How long will a lien last against my house in Texas
    I have a credit card collection firm that put a lien on my homestead house.
    My question is... will the lien go away over time or is it there for ever?
    Is bankrup the way to go? I'm retired but paying everything on time.
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Once the lien is there... its there forever... until the house is sold or the debt is satisfied.
