Yes, a default judgment can be granted against you in Texas without your knowledge if you do not respond to a lawsuit within the specified time frame. This typically occurs when the plaintiff files for a default judgment after you fail to appear or file an answer. However, if you were not properly served with notice of the lawsuit, you may have grounds to challenge the judgment and seek to have it overturned. It's important to consult with a legal professional if you find yourself in this situation.

A creditor must take a consumer to court in order to begin the legal process to garnish wages. The exact procedure for this process depends upon state laws.

Thus, it is possible to have a default judgment granted against you without your knowledge.

In Alabama, even if one party does not want the divorce to proceed, the other party can still get the divorce granted by filing for a default judgment. Since children are involved, I would not let the divorce get to this stage.

If a judgment is entered against you in a county where you don't reside does the creditor have to file a new lawsuit in the county where you do reside?
No, once the judgment is granted, it applies to you, not your county. All they need is your new address. * Perhaps. If the judgment holder wants to enforce the judgment in a method other than filing an abstract judgment against the debtor's real property then the creditor will have to file a suit in the county where the debtor resides. Judgments granted in one county or state can only be transferred to another county or state as liens against real property owned by the debtor.
