Can wages be garnished in Texas for unsecured debt?

Texas has a rather complicated garnishment code in that wage garnishment is only allowed if the judgment creditor has no other means of executing the judgment for monies owed. This is somewhat misleading as Texas does allow bank account levy, so all the creditor needs to do is enforce the judgment against the debtor's account. FYI, even joint marital accounts are subject to levy although only one spouse may be named on the judgment writ. Accounts held jointly by persons not married can be levied to the extent of the funds belonging to the debtor.

Yes. Self-employed persons are subject to garnishment under the same laws as those who are employed by a company/business. MI law follows federal guidelines, 30 x mininum wages of disposable income is exempt. (Ex. paid weekly 30 x 5.15=$154.50 is exempted). Amounts above that are subject to a maximum of 25% garnishment. In cases of self-employed persons the court will probably require proof of earnings, such as tax documents, bank accounts, etc.
