JUDGMENT DOMESTICATIONS
Do you have a non-Texas judgment you want to enforce against a Texas resident? Barnett & Garcia are experienced in turning non-Texas (sister state) and Federal judgments into Texas judgments.
The Texas Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act provides for the recognition of judgments from other territories, states and federal courts in the United States. Once domesticated, a sister state or Federal judgment can be collected like any other Texas judgment.
Our experience includes the identification and location of persons or entities obligated to a judgment creditor along with their assets. Once assets are located, Barnett &Garcia, can upon request, perform an analysis of whether the asset can be levied and sold to satisfy a judgment, including reviewing any encumbrances that may exist as a result of any IRS, ad valorem, state tax, UCC or judgement liens.
Our firm utilizes a number of post judgement remedies including post judgment depositions, writs of execution, turnover receiverships, bank garnishments, lien foreclosures and fraudulent transfer litigation. Additionally, our attorneys are experienced in liquidating encumbered and unencumbered assets of debtors to satisfy judgement creditors.
