A Texas Request for Abstract of Judgment is a court document that is filed with the county clerk in the county where the judgment was originally issued. It is used to establish a lien against a person's real estate, personal property, and wages. This document is also used to renew a judgment after 10 years. The Texas Request for Abstract of Judgment comes in two forms: an Abstract of Judgment and a Certificate of Renewal Abstract of Judgment. An Abstract of Judgment is used to register a judgment against a debtor's property, and a Certificate of Renewal Abstract of Judgment is used to renew the judgment after 10 years. The Request for Abstract of Judgment must include the case number, names of the parties, the date and amount of the judgment, and the name and address of the court that issued the judgment. Once the Request for Abstract of Judgment is filed, the county clerk will issue an Abstract of Judgment or a Certificate of Renewal Abstract of Judgment, depending on the type of the document filed. The Abstract of Judgment or the Certificate of Renewal Abstract of Judgment may be used to collect a debt from the debtor by seizing and selling their property to satisfy the debt.
