[WSBAPT] Procedure for Registering Judgment in Texas

[Dalynne Singleton]

I hired Texas counsel to assist with a Judgment from Washington.  He was great and didn't cost too much to get it done and also recorded against real property.
We found out you cannot garnish wages even though we knew where our two debtors lived...
His name is John Dubiel, Jr.
We are now receiving payments on the judgment from TX residents...

Subject: [WSBAPT] Procedure for Registering Judgment in Texas

Does anyone have a step-by-step guide for registering or filing a Washington Judgment as a foreign judgment in Texas (Dallas County)?  After reviewing numerous cites regarding procedure and even place of registering (the court clerk and the recorder appear to share personnel and functions), the statutes / rules I have accessed are difficult to interpret.  For example, the statute for enforcement of a foreign judgment states that a copy of the "foreign judgment authenticated in according with an act of congress or a statute of this state" may be filed in the clerk's office" but does not provide the requirements or form of authentication that is required.  The TX counsel I have contacted charge huge rates that would absorb 1/3 - ½ of the modest supplemental judgment that needs to be filed/recorded.  Any explanation would be appreciated.
