Submit Your Judgment for Evaluation by an Experienced Receiver!
Let Us Evaluate Your Judgment
We believe that everyone who has gone through the effort to obtain a judgment deserves to get paid on that judgment. After all, isn’t that the reason why you got the judgment in the first place?
Unfortunately, even most Texas attorneys have very little experience or knowledge in enforcing a judgment against a defendant who is unwilling to cooperate. We are professional Texas turnover receivers — it’s all we do — and we are dedicated to ensuring that a judgment gets paid while respecting the statutory rights of an individual judgment debtor to protect exempt property.
What is a Turnover Receivership?
A judgment creditor (the person owed money under the judgment) may ask a Texas court to appoint a turnover receiver as a third party, and grant powers to the receiver to freeze bank accounts and seize non-exempt property to satisfy the judgment. We have invested years and millions into our technology and processes. We have the ability to do things like:
Instantly pull credit reports to find banking relationships
Pull asset reports to identify real and personal property
Request payment information from past and current creditors, payment processors, and e- wallet applications like Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal
Freeze multiple bank accounts, e-wallets, and investment accounts at the same time
With a deputy sheriff or constable, seize real or physical property under a writ
Sell property at a much higher price than under a writ of execution.
What Size of Judgments Do You Handle?
Judge Hittner, writing in the Texas Bar Journal in the 1980’s when the Texas Turnover Statute was first passed, stated that the turnover receivership remedy should be available to enforce even the smallest of judgments. We firmly believe this to be the case, and we have been working since 2017 to build a high-volume practice that allows us to help everyone.
Our office handles judgments of all sizes, starting at $1,000.00 and going as high as the judge is willing to grant. On higher balance judgments in county and district courts, we are one of the few receivers who will physically seize non-exempt property if we find it. For smaller judgments, we are usually limited to seizing financial accounts.
Can You Enforce Judgments Throughout Texas?
Yes. Although our primary office is in San Antonio, we have an office in Austin, and we have enough volume throughout the state that we travel everywhere.
Can You Enforce My Judgment From Another State?
Judgments from states other than Texas are entitled to full faith and credit in Texas courts. However, the foreign judgment must be “domesticated” in a Texas court in order for a judgment creditor to take advantage of Texas judgment enforcement processes. Unfortunately, we cannot help you with this process, but most Texas civil attorneys should be able to do this for you. Once your judgment or child support obligation is domesticated in Texas, a turnover receivership is available immediately.
For smaller judgments, resources are available online at texaslawhelp.org and the Texas Justice Court Training Center.
I am Owed Child Support. Can You Help?
Yes! Although the Texas Office of the Attorney General has a mandate to assist in collecting child support, they have their hands full, and many people become frustrated if the child support obligor de-banks or gets paid under the table to avoid child support enforcement. Family law attorneys have traditionally charged high amounts to enforce child support through contempt proceedings, but throwing the obligor in jail means that they can’t earn money to pay!
We can help enforce child support obligations through our dedicated research and investigations, and our ability to find information and proceed against assets that are not on the OAG’s radar through customized processes. We can enforce judgments even if your case is active with the OAG.
What is the Process for Evaluating My Judgment?
You can submit your judgment (in PDF format only) through our portal by clicking below. Once you set up a profile, upload your judgment, and answer some basic questions, our team will review the judgment and determine if we are willing to serve as a receiver in the case. We generally like to help everyone, but unfortunately some courts do not grant turnover receiverships or impose restrictions that our office cannot accommodate. If we can’t help, we will let you know via email within 1-3 business days.
If we are willing to serve as a potential turnover receiver in your case, we will provide you with a basic form application and proposed order for you to complete and submit to the court. If you are an attorney, we will provide you with an application and form order that we believe best fits your case. If you are an individual, we can provide you with a form application promulgated by the Texas Justice Court Training Center, and a form order approved and promulgated by the Texas Supreme Court, and under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 679a it is required to be used in Texas justice courts for judgments under $20,000.00. It will then be your responsibility to complete the forms, file them, obtain a hearing (if necessary), and get a signed order.
Once you obtain the signed order, you can upload it to our website portal, and we will review it again for any issues. If everything looks good, we will begin working the judgment! You can log into your portal at any time to check the status of your case, communicate with our office, and receive communications regarding asset freezes and/or settlement opportunities.
Can You Give Me Legal Advice?
A receiver does not represent any party to the case and cannot provide legal advice. In fact, a receiver is technically not required to be an attorney at all! However, we can review your judgment, and if we are willing to accept an appointment for your case, we will provide you with a form application and our preferred order. It will be your responsibility to complete the application, file it with the court, and have the application heard by the court. Please note that while most judges will appoint the qualified receiver that the judgment creditor suggests, whether or not to grant the receivership is up to the judge. The judge is not required to appoint the receiver you suggest, or indeed appoint a receiver at all. The judge may also change the language of an appointment to require a bond or otherwise limit the authority or role of the receiver. Part of our evaluation process is reviewing our case history to see if the judge in your case has a history of granting turnover receiverships.
If you are not an attorney, we encourage you to consult with one. At present, we are only allowing licensed Texas attorneys to utilize our portal for evaluating judgments, but we anticipate opening the process up to the general public at a future date.
