Texas does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt in most cases, but has amended the statute to allow for certain exceptions. The state has always allowed garnishment for child support, federal and state back taxes, federal or public funded student loans, and in some cases spousal maintenance (alimony). The law now allows for creditor remedy by garnishment if the debtor does not have sufficient nonexempt property to pay the debt, (such as a bank account or real property) the creditor may petition the court under TX.Code, 63.100 for a wage garnishment. The other exception is, if the debtor is employed by an out-of-state company, the judgment creditor can then garnish the debtor's wages under the company's home state laws.

Can a bank garnish your wages from a Texas repo?

Yes, if they have or obtain a judgment against you for the outstanding balance of the loan, plus collection fees, legal fees, repossession fees, storage fees, auction fees, and any unpaid balance. Essentially, you could end up owing much more than the original loan, and if (when) they obtain the judgment, you will have no say in how they collect it. they can garnish your bank accounts, attach other assets with court order, and garnish your state tax returns as well.
