ABSTRACT OF JUDGMENT: if no appeal is filed within 10 days, the winning party can obtain from the court an ABSTRACT OF JUDGMENT for a fee. The Abstract will need to be filed with the County Clerk at the County Courthouse who charges a filing fee. An ABSTRACT OF JUDGMENT places a lien against any non-exempt, real property of the losing party for a period of ten years and is renewable. When requesting an Abstract of Judgment, you should, whenever possible, provide the court with the losing partys date of birth, Texas Drivers License number, current address and amount, if any, that had already been collected on the Judgment.
WRIT OF EXECUTION: Thirty days after the judgment is signed, the party that won can request a WRIT OF EXECUTION to enforce the judgment for a fee. The Constable serves the Writ and makes an oral demand for payment. If not received, he will then look for non-exempt personal property to levy on, that is, to confiscate and sell at an auction to pay off the judgment. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PAYMENT WILL BE MADE BY A WRIT OF EXECUTION. |
