It is a misconception that creditors do not have legal recourse in the State of Texas. As in every other U.S. state they can file a civil suit against any debtor who defaults on a valid contractual agreement.

Credit cards are considered "unsecure" only because there is no specific property attached to them, unlike vehicles and houses which act as collateral for the loans.

However, in Texas creditors cannot use a writ of judgment to garnish the debtor's wages unless the debtor has no other property that can be seized, such as a bank account.
