The "recognition" of a foreign judgment occurs when the court of one country or jurisdiction accepts a judicial decision made by the courts of another "foreign" country or jurisdiction, and issues a judgment in substantially identical terms without rehearing the substance of the original lawsuit.

A foreign judgment which is conclusive under Section 13 of the code may be enforced by instituting execution proceedings under Section 44-A in the case of 'reciprocating territories' (see question 1.2) or by instituting a civil suit on the judgment in the case of non-reciprocating territories.

The process of enforcement for a reciprocating territory is different from the process for a non-reciprocating territory, as follows: Reciprocating territory: the decree holder must file an application for execution of the foreign judgment or decree in the competent Indian court (Order 21 of the CPC).

The Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act: the ?UEFJA,? found at Chapter 35 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, provides for the recognition of judgments from other territories, states, and federal courts that are entitled to Full Faith and Credit (historically referred to as a ?foreign judgment?).

A foreign judgment can be authenticated ?in ance with an act of congress or a statute of this state,? which then ?may be filed in the office of the clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction of this state.? TEX.
