Why is my Account Frozen?
After you were sued, the Court rendered a judgment against you that has
not been paid. Since the judgment has gone unresolved, the
creditor exercised his right to file a motion asking the court to
enforce its judgment. Notice to you of this motion is not required
and often they are granted without a hearing. Your Court granted
the motion and then issued a "Turnover Order". When that order was
signed, the court took legal control of your non-exempt accounts and
non-exempt personal property. We call this a "Receivership".
The Court then appointed me as its "Receiver" to take possession and
control of this property as necessary to satisfy the judgment.
You should have received from me a copy of that Order, along with a
Notice instructing you to turn over to me certain items and
records. If you do not provide the requested items, you could be
held in contempt of Court.
You should contact the Receiver immediately
If you are an individual: I also sent you the following
documentation:
Notice of Protected Property Rights
Instructions for Protected Property Claim Form

If you think your property or account was not elegible for
seizure. YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME to exercise those
rights before they are deemed waived. You should read all the
information that was provided to you and contact the Receiver.
What is Exempt and Non-Exempt Personal Property?
Exempt personal property is defined by
Chapter 42 of the Texas Property Code. That law lists certain
catagories of personal property and types of money that are exempt,
which means creditors and receivers can not seize it. All other
personal property is non-exempt and subject to seizure. Exemptions
only apply to individuals. Companies do not have any exempt
property.
What is a Receiver:
A Receiver works under the oversight of the Court, whose job is to
enforce that Court's judgment. The powers and authority of the Receiver
is defined by that Court's order. The Receiver is a representative
of the Court. Receivers do NOT represent the judgment creditor,
and they do NOT represent the judgment debtor. A Receiver answers
ONLY to the Court, NOT either party. A Receiver can accept a
payment plan, but they can NOT compromise a judgment without the consent
of the judgment creditor
Terminating the Receiverhip:
The Receivership is terminated and the seizures stop once the judgment
is paid. I accept electronic payments by Zelle,
Paypal and Credit Card. Payments by
credit card have an additional 4% convienence fee that will not be
applied to your balance due. Alternatively you may deposit a check
directly into my account at a bank teller window.
Do not send checks by mail. Contact the Reciver for specific
payment instructions.
