Erase In Legal Texas Garnishment Forms For Free

In order to file a Writ of Garnishment, the creditor must have an existing final judgment against the debtor and then must file for the writ in the court which rendered the original judgment against the debtor. It is the third party, the bank or financial institution, which receives the Writ of Garnishment.

In the State of Texas, judgments are considered valid for at least ten years, after which time the creditor can undertake relatively easy efforts to have judgment renewed for another ten years, and then another ten years after that, and so on.

If you want to stop wage garnishment once and for all, filing for bankruptcy is your best option in Texas. As soon as your DebtStoppers lawyer files your petition, the court will grant you an automatic stay that forbids any creditor from garnishing your wages.

IF YOU ARE AN INDVIDUAL (NOT A COMPANY), YOUR MONEY OR PROPERTY MAY BE PROTECTED (?EXEMPT?) FROM GARNISHMENT UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE LAW. UNDER TEXAS RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 679b, THE GARNISHOR MUST SEND YOU A ?SEIZURE EXEMPTION NOTICE,? APPROVED BY THE SUPREME COURT.

Do Judgments Expire in Texas? Judgments awarded in Texas to a non-government creditor are generally valid for ten years but they can be renewed for longer. If a judgment is not renewed, it will become dormant. You can attempt to revive a dormant judgment in order to continue to try and collect the debt.

After a judgment is satisfied (paid), the creditor signs a release of judgment form and files it with the court clerk. It then becomes a permanent part of the case record and cannot be revoked. Once the satisfaction of judgment form is filed, the civil action against you stops.
