Texas Chapter 12 Discharge is a form of bankruptcy that is available to farmers and fishermen in Texas. This type of bankruptcy allows them to restructure their debts, while also keeping their property and assets. It is a process that allows the debtor to repay their debt over a period of time, while also having the debts discharged or forgiven upon completion of the repayment plan. There are three types of Texas Chapter 12 Discharge: 1) Automatic Discharge, 2) Early Discharge, and 3) Special Discharge. Automatic Discharge is when the debtor has completed all the repayment plan terms and the court has issued an Order of Discharge. Early Discharge is when the debtor has completed the repayment plan early, and the court has issued an Order of Discharge. Special Discharge is when the debtor has a hardship that prevents them from completing the repayment plan, and the court has decided to discharge the debt in full.
