FAQ
Here, learn about garnishment and how it works in Texas. Garnishment is a process that creditors use to collect debts, often requiring a lawsuit and court judgment. Banks or employers may freeze funds without prior notice, but certain types of property, such as wages and benefits, are protected from being garnished.
A debt collector cannot garnish your wages for ordinary debts. However, Texas allows for a bank account to be frozen. Once wages are deposited into a bank account, the funds can be frozen and possibly seized. In order to do this, a debt collector must have won the lawsuit and had an order issued by the court.
Absent being able to work out a repayment plan with the creditor or having a valid legal defense to assert, the only other way to stop a garnishment is by the filing of a bankruptcy. When a bankruptcy is filed, you are protected by the 'automatic stay. ' Notifying the garnishor of the bankruptcy filing is crucial.
CURRENT WAGES EXEMPT. Except as otherwise provided by state or federal law, current wages for personal service are not subject to garnishment. The garnishee shall be discharged from the garnishment as to any debt to the defendant for current wages. Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch.
§§ 92.101-92.109. Deductions for damages. Under Texas law, you must give the landlord a forwarding address in order to receive your returned security deposit. The landlord must return your deposit — less any amount deducted for damages — within 30 days.
