Bankruptcy is a Federal matter, your State makes no differece.

Under the new bankruptcy law taking effect on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.

Bankruptcy is a FEDERAL case, the state has little difference.....

Under the bankruptcy laws effective from October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago.

The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.

That's only a very small part of an answer to your question...there are other ways that may be able to assist you with what's currently going on with your finances that would do less damage to your credit rating. You should do some research. I'm sure you already know how tough it is to improve your rating when you're coming out of a bankruptcy situation.

Bankruptcy is a federal procedure and court. State laws have a bearing on some issues, especially exemptions, but otherwise the rules are the same. If the Chapter 13 was dismissed for cause, you will have to wait 180 days. If it was dismissed for any other reason, you can refile any time. You may not be entitled to a discharge, however, so check with a bankruptcy lawyer and do it right.

You filed bankruptcy and kept your house now you want to give it back?

The question has too little information to answer. How long ago was the bankruptcy filed? Was it a chapter 7 or a chapter 13? If a chapter 7, did you expressly state you were rtetaining the house and going to continue repaying the debt? What bakruptcy Court, since there are differences from state to state and even from court to court within a state? You may not need to relate this to bankruptcy at all, if the mortgagor will accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure (in a 7). If you are in a 13, you may be able to convert to a 7 and surrender the house.

If you filed a Chapter 13 in California and now live in Texas can you dismiss that case and file a Chapter 7?

No. Bankruptcy is not a state governed court. All bankruptcies are filed in Federal Courts. Once the Court has made a ruling it will stand. The judgment is valid in All 50 States. Sorry. Yes. Many states have opted out of federal bankruptcy filing, some states allow the petitioner to choose whether they want to file a state or a federal bankruptcy. The best choice obviously is the one that is most advantageous for the petitioner. A chapter 13 can be converted into a chapter 7 if the BK petitioner can show the trustee that they cannot meet the requirements for the original 13 filing, regardless if it is a state or federal filing. Because of the strict exemptions allowed in a Chapter 7, it would be prudent to seek legal counsel before taking any action.
