In Texas the cost to hire a bankruptcy lawyer for a Chapter 7 case typically ranges from 1200 to 2500 dollars. Chapter 13 cases cost more often between 2500 and 4000 dollars because they require more court filings and plan administration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Texas?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non exempt assets to pay creditors and discharges most debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years using your future income. Texas allows you to keep your home under the state homestead exemption which is unlimited in value for most homeowners.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Denton Texas?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The Denton bankruptcy court requires you to complete credit counseling before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
What debts cannot be discharged in Texas bankruptcy?
Certain debts are not dischargeable including most student loans, recent tax debts, child support, alimony, and debts from fraud or intentional harm. Texas also does not discharge debts for personal injury caused by drunk driving. A bankruptcy lawyer can review your specific debts.
