Frequently Asked Questions
What is the means test for bankruptcy in Texas?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a Texas household of your size. If your income is below the median, you likely qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file Chapter 13 and repay some debts over three to five years.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Texas?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply to all states including Texas.
Can I keep my home if I file for bankruptcy in Galveston?
Texas has an unlimited homestead exemption for property up to 10 acres in a city or 100 acres in rural areas. If your home equity is within these limits, you can usually keep your home in Chapter 7. In Chapter 13, you can keep your home if you stay current on mortgage payments.
