13. Can my home be foreclosed on or my wages garnished to pay a debt?
This depends on the nature of the debt. In Texas, a registered homestead is protected and cannot be foreclosed upon to pay a debt, except if the first or second mortgage or a home equity loan is in default. You should consult an attorney to be certain if your home or homestead is in jeopardy of foreclosure action.

Wages are generally protected, but can be garnished to pay court-ordered child support, spousal maintenance, defaulted student loans and unpaid taxes(back to questions)
