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 most debts in 3 to 6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. Texas exemptions allow you to keep your home and vehicle in many cases under both chapters.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Killeen Texas?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The court in the Western District of Texas requires credit counseling before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in Texas?
Yes, Texas law provides unlimited homestead exemption for your primary residence if the property is 10 acres or less in a city. You can also exempt up to one motor vehicle per family member. A lawyer can help ensure you use these exemptions properly to protect your assets.
