FAQ
Enforcing a Judgment There are several ways to collect on a judgment in Texas. In the most straight-forward way, you can begin the collections process by filing an “abstract of judgment” in the county clerk's office where you believe the judgment debtor owns non-exempt real property.
Real Property Exemptions: Chapter 41 of the Property Code Texas exempts only two types of real property: (1) one or more cemetery plots: and (2) a homestead. Texas Property Code § 41.001(a). Either families or single adults may claim homesteads. The homestead may be either rural or urban.
If your local courts do not have an online record search system or if only some of them do, you can try calling your court and asking the clerks there to check their records for a judgment (or active case) naming you as a defendant.
Judicial records are open to the public unless exempt from disclosure, and where a respondent does not raise exemptions and the special committee cannot conclude any apply the records must be released.

Do judgments expire in Texas? Judgments awarded in Texas to a non-government creditor are generally valid for ten years but can be renewed for longer. If a judgment is not renewed, it will become dormant. A creditor can request to revive a dormant judgment to continue to try and collect the debt.
After a creditor obtains a judgment against a debtor, they may then take action to seize the debtor's assets, including funds in bank accounts, vehicles, or other personal property.
Post-Judgment Discovery Court rules state the losing party must be given at least 30 days to respond to a request. The losing party may file a written objection with the court within 30 days of receiving the request. If an objection is filed, the judge must hold a hearing to determine if the request is valid.

Verify the Lien: Ensure the lien is valid and check for any errors that could invalidate it. Satisfy the Judgment: Paying the debt in full is the most straightforward way to remove the lien. Obtain a satisfaction of judgment from the creditor and file it with the court.
