Texas Judgments – Pearland, TX

At The Jay Dushkin Law Firm, we help individuals and businesses navigate the complex world of Texas judgments in Pearland Texas and the Greater Houston area.

What Is a Texas Judgment?
In legal terms, a judgment is a court’s final decision in a lawsuit. If a creditor or plaintiff sues you and wins, the court may issue a money judgment against you, ordering you to pay a specific amount. Judgments can come from:

• Credit card debt lawsuits
• Personal loan defaults
• Business contract disputes
• Real estate or lease issues
• Civil litigation and damages claims

Once a judgment is entered in Texas, the creditor has powerful tools to collect—including garnishment (in some cases), property liens, and bank account levies.
