Collecting Civil Suit Judgment

Summary

In Texas, you can collect a judgment by garnishing the debtors bank account, placing a lien on their real property, or seizing non-exempt personal property. The defendant must comply with the court-ordered judgment and cannot unilaterally decide their own payment plan without your agreement or a court order. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.
