The bank must adhere to terms of the court order for the levy of the account, and the laws relating to such can greatly differ from state-to-state. In some states a bank account levy is for one time only, and the entire amount of funds in the account can be seized up to the full amount of the judgment. If that does not satisfy the debt, the creditor must go back to court and be granted another judgment for another levy. In other states the account can be levied several times during a specific time period, meaning each time a deposit is made the bank must turn that money over to the judgment creditor. Information on the specific nature of the levy can be obtained from the account manager of the bank where the levy was executed or in some instances from the clerk of the court where the judgment was entered.

In Texas what percentage of income can a second garnishment take if the debtor already has an active garnishment for student loans?
If it pertains to a creditor, then the garnishment writ cannot be executed until the current garnishment has been satisfied, and only if the judgment creditor has no other means of collecting monies owed (bank account levy, real property lien, etc.) If it is a garnishment for child support that is not considered a "true garnishment" and it takes priority NS the percentage is determined by the presiding judge according to established guidelines (maximum 50% disposable income).

Usually the person who won will try a garnishment where you work, or a bank levy. In California, you can file a Claim of Exemption, and the court will decide if the garnishment should be less than the usual 25%, or if some or all of the money taken in the bank levy should not go to the judgment creditor.
