Can a judgment in Texas put a lien on home?

No. A judgment creditor can place a lien against real property but a forced sale of a homestead is not possible. Texas is one of the few states that has a constitutional statute that directly forbids the forced sale of a primary residence for creditor debt. No, Texas has a specific statute which directly forbids the forced sale of a homestead for creditor judgments.


Can a lien be placed against a house in Texas for a car that was purchased in California and then repossessed in Texas?

Yes. The creditor can sue the debtor in Texas and use a judgment award to place a lien against property belonging to the debtor. I'm not a lawyer and would encourage you to call one. But I believe the previous answer is incomplete. If you reside in Texas, and you LIVE in the home in question, a judgment award cannot really be used against that property. If they put a lien on the house, all you need to do is claim "homestead exemption" and tell the creditor to remove the lien. They are required to do that. If they refuse, you can sue them for damages. The creditor can place a lien on OTHER property that you own (i.e. not your primary residence). Or any property that you inherit.

If you need to sell your joint-owned house in Florida but you have a judgment against you not a lien will you have to pay the judgment first?

If the judgment was not perfected as a lien against the property (which is almost impossible in Florida), the property is not encumbered and the title should be clear, thereby not causing a problem with the sale. The judgment holder will probably be able to execute the judgment as a bank account levy and/or seize funds garnered from the sale of the homestead.


What if property is paid in full and there no mortgage Can HOA still put a lien for non payment of fees?

A lien can be placed upon any property if first, there is a judgment. You first have to have a judgment, where a debt is actually proven in a court of law, leaving a judgment. THen, if not satisfied, they certainly can lien your house. Anyone holding a judgment that is not satisfied can lien your house.


Can a debt collector place a lien on a homestead exempted home?

In most cases a judgment holder can encumber a primary residence with a lien to the extent of the amount of the lien and/or non exempted amount of the property. Generally the homestead exemption protects the property from a forced sale for the debt owed. In addition there are several US states that do not allow the forced sale of a primary residence to satisfy a judgment creditor. Please do not confuse a judgment lien with foreclosure procedures, they are two entirely different matters.

Legal charge on debtors house for the last 6 years can you threaten to ask the court for an order to sell the property hoping to obtain repayment?

Where can you find the laws relating to repossessions and liens in Texas?

41.024 - Sale of Excess. An officer holding an execution sale of property of a judgment debtor whose homestead had been designated under this chapter may sell the excess of the judgment debtor's interest in land not included in the homestead. A lien can be placed against most property, with the exception of that which is held in "entirety". Texas has an unlimited Homestead Exemption, except for the land itself. An urban residence can be no larger than 10 acres, and rural homestead 200 acres for a family residence, 100 acres for a single owner. Even though a lien could be placed on the property. A forced sale of said property would not be possible. To find out all the exemptions allowable under Texas law, search "Texas Bankruptcy Exemptions" they are applicable to BK filings and lawsuit judgments. www.capitol.state.tx.us
