"Judgment for Defendant" means that the defendant wins the case. In a criminal case, a judgment for defendant would be a "not guilty" verdict (usually). In a civil case, it would usually mean that the defendant does not have to pay money to the person who sued him or her (known as the "plaintiff").

Is there jail time for non payment of alimony?
No. Not exactly. If alimony is owed, it is a matter of court order. That is a judge ordered the defendant to pay alimony for a specific amount of time to the plaintiff. If the defendant fails to pay the alimony, he is in contempt of court. The plaintiff would need to file a notice of noncompliance with the court (as simple as a letter to the ordering judge) and a bench warrant would likely be issued. If the defendant is not subsequently apprehended by law enforcement, the plaintiff may motion the court to enforce the bench warrant, and which time the judge would issue an order for arrest for the defendant. The defendant would then be actively sought by law enforcement, arrested, and would appear before the ordering judge to explain why he had not complied with the court order to pay alimony.

Should you pay restraining order to a plaintiff instead of your landlord?
The question makes no sense. There is no payment of a restraining order. To obtain a restraining order, you either contact your local law enforcement agency and have a temporary order filed, or you motion the courts for an order, in which case you pay a motion fee to the court. Nothing is paid to the plaintiff, and the only reason your landlord would be involved is if he is the plaintiff or the defendant.
What legal actions can be taken against you if you don't pay your credit card debt in Texas?
There are two legal remedies that apply in most states for the recovery of debt pertaining to credit card accounts. Lawsuits and arbitration actions, lawsuits follow normal court procedure in accordance with state laws, arbitration is handled by the National Arbitration Forum. Arbitration bypasses regular court procedures, if the plaintiff wins the NAF will notify the defendant/debtor of the decision. The plaintiff then must file for a writ of judgment in the court of jurisdiction. In either venue, the winning plaintiff is usually awarded a writ of judgment and can execute it against the defendant/debtor's property pursuant to state laws to recover monies owed.
What does motion and request for default mean?
A plaintiff starts a lawsuit by filing a complaint and serving the complaint and summons on the defendant (or defendants). If the defendant does not answer the complaint or otherwise respond to the suit, the plaintiff make request a "default judgment." This means, more or less, "the defendant has not responded and the court should therefore grant what I sought in the complaint." Usually, a default judgment will be restricted to the relief sought in the complaint and will be restricted to amounts that are reasonably calculable. For example, say somebody hit you with their car, and you sued for $100,000 in medical bill. If the defendant ignores the lawsuit, the plaintiff will request a default judgment, and the court will likely grant them a $100,000 judgment. The plaintiff will then take the judgment to (most often) the county sheriff's department, which will then seize a defendants property to be sold to pay the judgment; or plaintiff can seek other remedies, like garnishment of wages. Lesson: don't ignore lawsuits. That's how you lose for sure.
Do you have to pay the attorney fees of the creditor in a lawsuit?
Perhaps, the judge decides if the plaintiff should be reimbursed for legal fees. In most instances the plaintiff will not be able to recover such charges, although it is almost always a stipulation in the original suit.
