Straight answers

Arlington Chapter 7 questions

What Arlington residents ask most before filing a Chapter 7 case.

(817) 335-8880
01Do I qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Arlington, TX?

Qualification depends on the means test, which compares your household income to the Texas median for Dallas and Tarrant Counties. If your income falls below the median, you automatically qualify. Even above-median earners may qualify after allowable deductions. Our attorneys run a free preliminary means test during your consultation.

02What debts does Chapter 7 eliminate for Arlington residents?

Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debts including credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans, payday loans, utility arrearages, and certain older tax debts. It does not discharge recent taxes, student loans (in most cases), child support, or alimony.

03How quickly does Chapter 7 stop creditor calls in Arlington?

Immediately. The moment your petition is filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, the automatic stay goes into effect. Creditors are legally prohibited from most collection activity, including calls, letters, lawsuits, and wage garnishments.
