Judgement and Texas

Try seeking a free consultation to see if you have grounds for vacation.

That's very different from JP courts that I've dealt with. They can't just start taking things from your home with a writ of execution, as I've said the state has a very long list of things exempted from execution. Sounds like that clerk doesn't know much about the law that they're handing out there. Unless there's been a recent change, those courts can't hear collection cases. Sounds more like you're the victim of some "kangaroo court".

well the rude clerk this morning laughed at me when i suggested that and says theres hundreds of cases just like mine in their office, when i brought that up. she said the difference is that mine was justice court case and the others that fall under the no collectors statute are for small claims. they just changed the amount between justice/small claims in sept i found out. but i still wouldn't have "qualified" for small claims by what i got from her.
what i was concerned about is that i have a roommate who stores things for their job in my garage that would be hard pressed to prove they are not mine if i got a cantankerous sheriff. they would qualify definitely as tools. and that is on the list of exemptions but at this point i don't trust anyone connected with this now.
palisades had their server lie about when he served me as they would not have a case without it. and i told the clerk this. but they can't do anything since it has a judgement and i don't have any money to go toward this stupid thing. very frustrating.
so needless to say i closed one bank acct today and will be doing so with one other i have this week.
no more bank accts. at least for 10 yrs. if palisades did this for the relatively small amt they say i owe, what would be next? looks like they will do anything to make their point and have crooks all over to help them do it.
thanks

In my state they are not allowed to sue in small claims court nor JP, they have to go to circuit court. I think someone's not being honest with you.

thanks jc but i can only go by what all the clerks told me. you wouldn'd think so in jp court anyway.

You can go beyond the clerk. You can ask a magistrate or judge. Someone who actually knows the law. Seems to me like your getting taken her. You shouldn't roll over and take it.

Can a judgement in Texas take your car from you if it is paid for?

i don't think so cami, but only one car that is your own..but i am not an authority in any way. another in your name might be considered an "asset", that could be sold to satisfy your debt. see this site that might help you decide (scroll down for your info but whole page is very informative for texans):

No, you are exempted one car per person.

they got your car, sold it, and now they want you to pay deficiency balance. let them file a judgement and when you get summons/complaint answer that this care has already been repossessed and they are trying to collect on deficiency balance which is more then your car value probably. find out what they got for the car subtract deficiency from outstanding balance when they repoed. no need to worry
