can i be garnished for my wages in texas

Answered 13 years ago by J. Thomas Black (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
I'm not 100% clear on your question, but if you have a judgment against you from another state, Texas courts must give "full faith and credit" to it. Therefore a judgment-creditor with a judgment from another state, can seek to garnish your wages here in Texas. There are limits according to federal law as to how much of your pay can be garnished. Generally speaking the most that can be garnished is either the lesser of 25% of your weekly disposable income, or your weekly earnings less 35 times the federal minimum hourly wage (about $250 per week). You could try to negotiate a lower amount or if you have other debt problems that justify it, consider filing chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy to discharge the debt.... Read More

The creditor has received a judgment against you, probably by default.

If these are federally guaranteed, you may want to ask for an income-based repayment program. Check out studentloanborrowerassistance.org for more information. If these are private loans, you are basically at the mercy of the lender for any relief.

What is a Writ of Execution for a debt that I dont know about?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Gary Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
A Writ of Execution means that someone has obtained a judgment against you. The Writ of Execution is issued by the Court to allow the constable to seek to collect the judgment. Of course, most people don't have any assets to satisfy such judgments and the Constable will normally file papers with the Court stating that he investigated and found no assets. The Writ may mention what judgment is involved. With that information, you or an attorney could track down the original lawsuit and determine what, if any, options you may have at this point....

Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies. ... Read More

Can a Bill of review be done after my bank account got garnished just now (march 2012) since I was never served in 2005? What are my chances in court?

Answered 13 years and 11 months ago by attorney Herbert Weinberg   |   1 Answer
The devil is in the details which makes it hard to give a second opinion. However, your lawyer is being aggressive which makes sense since the creditor is playing hardball . The burden is on the creditor to show service and if they clearly were not careful, they you have a good chance.

Contacting an attorney and having the attorney draft a demand letter can be helpful in cases such as yours. Also, you can often get a declaratory judgment from the court awarding you title when there are no other reasonable means to pursue.
