No--when one gets garnisheed, the paperwork is sent to payroll at the company where one works. Depending on the State's law where that person lives is how it is determined how much is taken out of the paycheck a month.

Now if someone is self employed, there is no payroll and you wouldn't necessarily guarnishee yourself.

But if a tax refund is due, you might not get it as it could be taken.

The down side to all of this is that the judgment will be in place and show up on the credit-- personal and business which would not be good

for business.

What property can a judgment creditor attach if you do not own real property or vehicles and the only money in your checking account is from regular wages?

They can garnish your wages. Texas only allows a judgment creditor to garnish wages if the creditor has no other options available to execute the judgment. A judgment creditor can levy a bank account including a joint account or a joint marital account. Regular earned income (wages) deposited into a bank account are NOT exempt from creditor seizure. The creditor may also seize and liquidate any non exempt assets belonging to the debtor (bonds, stocks, jewelry, livestock, a specified amount of tools of trade, in some cases household furnishings, etc). Texas is a community property state, therefore, it might be possible for the judgment creditor to seize joint marital property even if only one spouse is the debtor. Some income, however, cannot be attached by creditors or persons who prevail in a lawsuit. For example, disability income, Social Security income and military retirement income cannot be garnished or attached by a creditor.
