Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.

The creditor would need to obtain a lawsuit judgment from the Texas court before wage garnishment would be allowed.

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.
What is a dissolution of writ of garnishment?
A dissolution of writ of garnishment refers to a legal process that terminates a garnishment order, which is a court order allowing a creditor to collect a debt directly from a debtor's wages or bank accounts. This dissolution can occur for various reasons, such as the debtor paying off the debt, a court finding that the garnishment was improper, or a change in the debtor's financial situation. Once the writ is dissolved, the garnishment stops, and the creditor can no longer access the debtor's funds through that mechanism.

What does garnishment disposition mean?
Garnishment disposition refers to the outcome or resolution of a garnishment process, where a creditor seeks to collect a debt by intercepting a debtor's wages, bank accounts, or other assets. It typically involves the determination of how much money will be withheld and paid to the creditor from the debtor's income or accounts. The disposition may also include any legal proceedings or negotiations that affect the garnishment's effectiveness or duration. Overall, it signifies the final status of the garnishment action and its impact on the debtor's finances.
