I received the Writ of Execution in the mail and saying I owe a huge amount of money. Asking me to call and pay the Dallas county constable. What steps should I do about this because I don't know anything about this.

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.
