My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: Texas
Is it legal in Texas to garnish wages for a bad debt judgment? How about bank accounts? What if the bank account is in my married name and the judgement was filed in my maiden name? I don't really have any money except my bi-weekly check to pay bills. No savings or anything.
A lawyer told me the creditor could not garnish my wages, put a lien on my house (homestead), or take my car (if I only have 1). I read conflicting information all over the web. The lawyer also said the creditor could send a sheriff over to my house to see if there is anything of value that they can take. Is that true and if so, what would they take?
