Once the judgment has been awarded, the plaintiff (judgment creditor has the responsibility of enforcement. The process included one or more of the following steps:
- 1. Abstract of Judgment or Domestication
The first step in collection is securing the judgment lien by filing an abstract of judgment. If the judgment was awarded in a jurisdiction other than Texas, it is considered a foreign-judgment and the judgment must first be domesticated before an abstract can be filed. - 2. Writ of Garnishment
A writ of garnishment allows a judgment creditor to secure assets held by a third party on behalf of the judgment debtor, usually a bank. The process of obtaining a writ of garnishment in Texas is complex, but, if successful, the creditor can freeze any accounts affiliated with the debtor until the desired amount of assets are turned over.
- 3. Writ of Execution
This documentation allows the local sheriff or constable to take possession of non-exempt assets from a judgment-debtor and sell the items to a partially or fully satisfy the judgment. - 4. Turnover Order
An extraordinary remedy by which the judgment debtor’s physical assets are turned over to the court for execution.
