Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Texas?
Texas uses a means test based on state median income to determine Chapter 7 eligibility. As of 2024, the median monthly income for a single-person household in Texas is approximately $5,400. If your income falls below the applicable median, you generally qualify for Chapter 7. Higher earners may still qualify after deducting allowable expenses, which an attorney can calculate in a free consultation.
Can bankruptcy stop wage garnishment in Dallas?
Yes. Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362, which immediately halts most collection actions including wage garnishments, creditor calls, and pending lawsuits. The stay takes effect the moment the petition is filed and provides immediate, court-ordered relief while your case is pending. An attorney can file on an expedited basis if garnishment is imminent.
