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 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Texas law allows you to keep your home and car in many cases under both chapters.
How long does 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 as you rebuild credit.
Can I file bankruptcy without a lawyer in Port Arthur Texas?
You can file pro se without a lawyer but it is not recommended. Texas bankruptcy rules require strict paperwork and deadlines. Mistakes can lead to case dismissal or loss of exemptions.
