FAQ
Before the start of 2022, lien waiver forms had to be notarized to make it official. However, the latest updates to the Texas Lien Laws effective on January 1st, 2022 removed this requirement and lien waivers do not need to be notarized anymore.
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.
Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
To remove or clear a Lien on Texas property, the person or entity claiming the Lien needs to sign a document releasing the Lien. The document is usually called a Release of Lien, Lien Release, or a Deed of Reconveyance.
In Texas, judgment liens take priority over subsequent liens, claims, encumbrances, and are subordinate to previous liens, claims, encumbrances, and conveyances found of record.
Key Takeaways. A judgment lien is a court ruling that gives a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Judgment liens are nonconsensual because they are attached to property without the owner's consent or agreement.
Essentially, consensual liens don't adversely affect your credit as long as repayment terms are satisfied. Judgment and most statutory liens have a negative impact on your credit score and report, which affect your ability to obtain financing in the future.
Certificate of judgment means a certificate issued by a clerk of courts in which the judgment was rendered, under the seal of the court, under section 2329.02 or 2329.04 of the Revised Code.
