Texas is a CP state, that being the case it might be possible for a creditor to hold the surviving spouse responsible for the deceased's debt if the estate is not adequate for repayment. Whether or not it is viable option for the creditor depends upon the type of debt that was incurred.
sure they can but they cant collect or that is what happens in texas they can get an injunction against you but that means you have to pay them but not when Absolutely. You own them the money and they can hire an attorney or sell the debt to a collection agency.
No.
Texas has several credit counseling opportunities. Texas Debt Relief is a company with several locations throughout the state. They can help you to understand the credit options available to you by setting you up with a debt consolidation plan that you can really understand.
yes they can. But only for non payment of serives/ material. Not a credit card or credit lending company.
Spouses are not responsible for their spouses' children. However, the State can and will place liens on assets to collect child support, so the spouse could end up losing money if s/he is a joint owner of those assets.See links below
As a general rule, people on commission such as Realtors and insurance agents are not eligible in Texas for unemployment. The law was enacted to protect wage earners, spouses, military, etc. and not the self-employed, which most independent contractors in sales are. The Related Link below goes into specifics on this.
No. Texas does not allow creditor wage garnishment, regardless of the amount owed.
I can't answer your question specifically for TX. Here's some general information on that http://proagency.tripod.com/skp-ca-cl.html http://www.small-claims-courts.com/collection-small-claims.html for more info. see www.steveshorr.com/law.htm They can file an "abstract of judgement" against you
Texas Credit Union League was created in 1934.
The Credit Card Companies would rather hound the woman than a guy because they feel they can instill more fear in the woman. If his name is on it (or her name) and they have signed for these items, then see a lawyer and haved a letter written up. By law, if the spouse who has the sole name on a credit card is still alive they are the ones that should be paying off the Credit Card Companies. The Credit Card Company will have you believe that because you are married to this person you are liable! Not true! Fight it! Good luck Marcy Spouses are not responsible for debts that are solely incurred unless the couple reside in a community property state. (Texas and Wisconsin laws have exceptions to marital debt responsibility.)
