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.

Garnishments cannot run concurrently only consecutively. The first garnishment would need to be paid before another judgment creditor would be able to garnish the debtor's income. Court ordered child support deductions are not considered true garnishments and can be active at the same time that a creditor garnishment is implemented. Also, multiple creditors can execute judgments by other means, such as liens against real property belonging to the judgment debtor.
Texas statutes only allow wage garnishment if the judgment creditor has no other means of collecting the debt owed (bank levy, lien against real property, seizure/sale of unexempt property, etc.). The above does not apply to child support or in some instances spousal maintenance.
Garnishment orders apply to wages or in some cases bank accounts. Sheriff's do not garnish wages they just serve the garnishment order. If you are not being paid by an employer there are no wages to be garnished. Disability benefits are exempt from creditor garnishment. They are not exempt from garnishment for tax arrearages or child support.
A creditor must go through the proper court proceedings, and a judgment filed against you with the court before wage garnishment can occur. In the state of Delaware, wage garnishment can take up to one month.
