Judgment creditor garnishments must run consecutively. The creditor who received and executed the judgment first will be paid before another creditor can garnish the debtor's wages. If federal garnishment is used rather than state then it can be a maximum of 25% of disposable income with the first weekly based $154.50 exempt from garnishment. Please be advised, if there is child support deduction order in place it takes priority, with the primary judgment creditor's garnishment still valid but secondary in collection.

The federal government sets the maximum wage garnishment for creditor debt at 25% of disposable income, with the first $154.50 ( based on weekly income) being exempt from garnishment . Some states use the federal amount others set their own wage garnishment percentages, the debtor is garnished at the amount that is the lowest. Child support deductions do not count as garnishment and can be set at a maximum of 50% of total income. Additionally child support orders can run consecutively with a creditor garnishment but two creditors cannot garnish the debtor at the same time.

What property can a judgment creditor attach if you do not own real property or vehicles and the only money in your checking account is from regular wages?
They can garnish your wages. Texas only allows a judgment creditor to garnish wages if the creditor has no other options available to execute the judgment. A judgment creditor can levy a bank account including a joint account or a joint marital account. Regular earned income (wages) deposited into a bank account are NOT exempt from creditor seizure. The creditor may also seize and liquidate any non exempt assets belonging to the debtor (bonds, stocks, jewelry, livestock, a specified amount of tools of trade, in some cases household furnishings, etc). Texas is a community property state, therefore, it might be possible for the judgment creditor to seize joint marital property even if only one spouse is the debtor. Some income, however, cannot be attached by creditors or persons who prevail in a lawsuit. For example, disability income, Social Security income and military retirement income cannot be garnished or attached by a creditor.
