Texas has a rather complicated garnishment code in that wage garnishment is only allowed if the judgment creditor has no other means of executing the judgment for monies owed. This is somewhat misleading as Texas does allow bank account levy, so all the creditor needs to do is enforce the judgment against the debtor's account. FYI, even joint marital accounts are subject to levy although only one spouse may be named on the judgment writ. Accounts held jointly by persons not married can be levied to the extent of the funds belonging to the debtor.
