California is a community property state, therefore how the house is titled or whether the debt is joint is not relevant. The main factor would be if the homestead exemption is large enough to protect the property from a forced sale by the judgment holder.

Can creditors garnish your wages or take your house in California?
Yes. California allows income garnishment by judgment creditors. The law also allows a judgment creditor to place a lien on real property owned by the judgment debtor. Generally the homestead exemption will protect a primary residence from a forced sale for debt owed. Judgment creditors rarely request a forced sale of a primary residence because it is a complicated and lengthy process and is seldom profitable enough for implementation.

Can a person's wages or bank account be garnished for credit card debt in Texas?
The creditor would need to obtain a lawsuit judgment from the Texas court before wage garnishment would be allowed. Texas only allows garnishment of wages when there are no other means for a judgment creditor to collect a debt owed. If a judgment has already been entered against the debtor in a different state, the judgment creditor can place a "foreign" judgment lien against property owned by the debtor.

How can someone file for a Supersedeas Bond when the judgment in the case was final?
The purpose of the bond is to maintain the status quo at the time of finial judgment. If a debtor can prove that the prevailing party will not be prejudiced by waiting to collect their judgment, then execution on that judgment can be stayed during the appeal. Although the judgment is final, the appellate court could find some error in the district court's actions and reverse that judgment. The bond allows the debtor to avoid the hardship of having their property liened and wages garnished if they can prove they will pay if the appellate court upholds the judgment.
