Relating to the collection or execution of certain judgments; authorizing fees.
This bill amends Texas law to streamline the collection of certain civil judgments. It requires justice courts to appoint a receiver for unpaid judgments after six months if requested by a creditor, and allows courts to charge up to $25 for such motions. Child support judgments are specifically included in these enforcement mechanisms, and the bill updates statute of limitations rules for judgment enforcement (extending renewal periods to 10 years from issuance). The changes apply to all civil judgments, directly affecting creditors seeking payment and debtors facing collection actions.
