11. Can I go to jail for non-payment of a debt?

No. You will not be arrested or placed in jail for non-payment of a debt. However, in Texas, following proper court proceedings, criminal penalties can be imposed for writing a check in exchange for goods or services if the check is returned for insufficient funds and remains unpaid.(back to questions)
