What is bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a federal legal process that helps people and businesses who cannot pay their debts get a fresh start or reorganize what they owe. In Texas, most consumer cases are Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 13 (repayment plan).
Who should consider filing bankruptcy in Texas?
You may want to speak with a bankruptcy attorney if you are facing lawsuits, wage garnishment, foreclosure, repossession, or debt you cannot realistically repay.
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?
Chapter 7 can discharge qualifying unsecured debt if you pass the means test. Chapter 13 sets up a 3–5 year plan to catch up on secured debts.
How much does it cost to file bankruptcy in Texas?
Attorney fees vary by chapter and complexity. Machi Wright & Associates offers a free initial consultation.
Will bankruptcy stop foreclosure or garnishment?
Filing triggers an automatic stay that temporarily stops most collection actions. Timing matters — contact an attorney as soon as you receive notice.
