ATTORNEY.
Why is my Account Frozen?
This normally happens when lawsuits and judgments are not properly
responded to. After you were sued, the Court rendered a
judgment against you. This usually results in more attorney's
fees, costs, and interested being added to the original claim.
When the judgment is not paid, the Creditor goes back to
Court asking that its Judgment be enforced, which means even more
attorney's fees and costs. Notice to you of this step is not
required and often a turnover order is granted without a hearing.
Your Court granted that motion and then issued a "Turnover
Order". When that order was signed, the Court took legal
control of all your non-exempt accounts and non-exempt personal
property. We call this a "Receivership", which results in yet
even more costs. The Court also appointed me as its
"Receiver" to take possession of this property as necessary to
satisfy the judgment. If you receive a request frome me for
items and records from me, a copy of that turnover order would be
attached. If you do not provide the requested items in time, you
could face contempt proceedings.
You should contact the Receiver immediately
If you are an individual: I also sent you the following
documentation:

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.
