Can my wages be garnished even though I live and work in TX? Even if my companies headquarters are in PA and the payroll office is in GA.
Thanks!

Wage garnishment is not allowed in Texas. Even if the company is headquartered in a different state, they have to follow the laws and be a licensed business in your state before taking any legal actions. See more on this topic in the thread below.

Anthony is correct..For a non-consumer debt, such as IRS, child support, etc garnishment in Texas is legal. For consumer debts, though, like credit cards, garnishment is not allowed. What is allowed is seizing of your accounts, which can be worse than garnishment.
