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.

How do you find a debtor's bank account information when you have a judgment against them?

One of the difficulties a judgment creditor has is executing the judgment. The court will not assist the creditor in finding assets belonging to the debtor unless the creditor has filed and been granted a motion of discovery. The options for finding a debtor's bank account are somewhat limited unless the creditor has a copy of a check or the name of the banking facility. One method is to call bank branches that are closest to where the person resides and see if you can persuade the bank to tell you if the person of that name banks there. Be advised, the bank has no legal obligation to impart the information (and they seldom will) unless they are presented with a court order.
