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 typically discharges debts in 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for individuals with regular income. Texas law allows you to keep your home under the homestead exemption in both chapters.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Texas?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. The impact lessens over time and you can start rebuilding credit soon after discharge.
Can I keep my car if I file for bankruptcy in Katy Texas?
Yes you can often keep your car if you use the Texas motor vehicle exemption which covers up to one vehicle per licensed driver. You must continue making payments if you have a car loan. A lawyer can help you determine if your vehicle is protected.
