Judgment Litigation Services in Houston TX

Judgment and Writ Collection Litigation

At Busby & Associates, we provide legal representation for judgment enforcement, post-judgment collection litigation, and writ execution. If you have secured a judgment against a debtor and are struggling to collect, our firm can assist with wage garnishments, bank levies, asset seizures, and other enforcement strategies.

Post-Judgment Litigation and Enforcement

1. Claims Litigation

• When a judgment is awarded, creditors must take action to collect on their claims.
• We assist with validating claims, contesting fraudulent transfers, and pursuing debtors through legal channels.

2. Objections to Secured Claims

• If a debtor disputes the judgment or attempts to claim exemptions to avoid payment, we challenge these claims to protect your right to collect.
• Real estate and property lien enforcement is a key tool in collecting outstanding judgments.

3. Objections to Priority Claims

• Tax debts, child support, and spousal support are often treated as priority claims.
• We ensure these obligations are properly accounted for in judgment collections and not unfairly disputed.

4. Objections to Unsecured Claims

• If a debtor claims a debt is invalid due to expired statutes of limitations, we analyze Texas law to confirm whether the debt is still collectible.
• If necessary, we file motions to validate outstanding debts.

Judgment Adversary Proceedings

A judgment adversary proceeding is filed separately but linked to the original case when further action is needed. This can include:

1. Challenging fraudulent transfers – If a debtor has transferred assets to avoid paying a judgment, we pursue legal remedies to recover those assets.
2. Petitions for Turnover Orders – If a debtor refuses to comply, we file to seize their property for payment.
3. Requests for Injunctions – To prevent a debtor from concealing or liquidating assets before collection.
4. Bank Account and Wage Garnishment – Filing motions to freeze bank accounts and secure wage garnishments.
5. Enforcement of Liens – Ensuring liens on real estate and personal property are properly executed.

Exemptions and Debtor Challenges

Debtors may claim certain assets as exempt from judgment collection. Our team reviews these claims and files objections to exemptions when necessary.

• Texas vs. Federal Exemptions – We analyze whether the debtor is improperly claiming homestead, vehicle, or wage exemptions.
• Post-Judgment Discovery – If a debtor hides assets, we use post-judgment discovery methods to locate income, property, and other attachable assets.

Motions for Writs and Stay Relief

Debtors often attempt to delay or stay collection efforts through legal motions. We fight these attempts and ensure collection efforts proceed without unnecessary delays.

• Writs of Execution – Direct enforcement of court-ordered payments.
• Writs of Garnishment – Collection of funds directly from wages or bank accounts.
• Motions for Stay Relief – If a debtor attempts to stay collections due to ongoing legal proceedings, we advocate for relief from stay orders to continue enforcement.
