Can a creditor levy your bank account in Texas and how do they find your bank account?

Yes your bank account can be levied for a credit card debt in texas. They CANNOT garnish your wages but they can levy your bank account if they sue you and get a default judgement. I found this out the hard way. My husband had stopped paying on a credit card in 2006 and we received a notice 12/2009 that they were suing him but was not aware of what they could really do besides put it on his credit. They froze every account with his name and social attached to it.
