What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Texas?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows qualified individuals to discharge most unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills, in as little as 4–6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is ideal for those who want to keep their home or car, as it creates a structured 3–5 year repayment plan. Our Arlington bankruptcy lawyers will review your income, assets, and debts to determine which chapter best fits your financial goals.

From the moment you schedule a free consultation, our bankruptcy attorneys provide step-by-step guidance. We handle paperwork, protect you from aggressive creditors, and represent you at court hearings. Whether filing Chapter 7 for debt elimination or Chapter 13 to reorganize and catch up on payments, our Arlington law firm ensures your case is handled with precision and care.

Which debts are dischargeable in Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

In most Chapter 7 cases, unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, and certain judgments can be wiped out. Chapter 13 allows for partial repayment while also discharging remaining unsecured debts after the plan ends. Our bankruptcy lawyers in Arlington, TX will review your debts and assets to maximize your financial relief while protecting what matters most to you.
