Generally, to file a judgment lien, an abstract of judgment must be issued by the justice court. Some justice courts have a form available on their website to request an abstract of judgment.
If you were at fault for the injury, then the hospital lien cannot attach to your property. It only attaches to a claim for compensation that you have against another party for your injuries. You still need to make arrangements to settle your account or there are other legal remedies the hospital may pursue.
In Texas, creditors and medical bill collectors aren't allowed to place a lien on your house for medical bills. Texas has strong homestead protection laws that safeguard your residence from most creditors.
