Judgment Enforcement in Texas

Judgment Enforcement and Debt Collection in Texas

If you have secured a court judgment against a debtor but are struggling to collect, Busby & Associates can help with judgment enforcement, post-judgment collection litigation, and writ execution in Houston, Galveston, and surrounding Texas counties. Our firm specializes in helping creditors recover outstanding debts efficiently and legally.

Post-Judgment Enforcement Process

  1. Investigating Debtor Assets
    • Asset discovery through subpoenas and post-judgment discovery.
    • Locating bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, or wages that can be garnished.
    • Filing judgment liens on property to ensure repayment.
  2. Garnishment and Writs of Execution
    • Wage Garnishments – Seizing a portion of the debtor’s paycheck.
    • Bank Levies – Freezing and collecting funds from a debtor’s bank account.
    • Writs of Execution – Seizing non-exempt property for debt repayment.
  3. Turnover Orders and Charging Orders
    • Forcing the debtor to turn over assets or income-producing property.
    • Filing charging orders to claim a debtor’s business interests.
  4. Fraudulent Transfer Litigation
    • If a debtor transferred assets to avoid paying a judgment, we pursue legal remedies to recover those assets.
    • Challenging fraudulent conveyances and reversing illegal transfers.

Defending Against Debtor Exemptions

Debtors may try to claim exemptions to avoid payment. We file objections to ensure:

  • Bankruptcy does not erase judgments related to fraud, child support, or willful misconduct.
  • Homestead and property exemptions are properly challenged when applicable.
  • Texas vs. Federal Exemptions – Ensuring the most creditor-friendly laws are applied.

Legal Actions to Force Payment

  • Abstracts of Judgment – Placing a lien on the debtor’s real estate.
  • Receivership – Appointing a receiver to manage and liquidate debtor assets.
  • Contempt of Court Motions – Holding debtors accountable for non-payment.
