Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Texas?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Texas you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a Texas household of your size. If your income is below the median you automatically qualify. If it is above you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
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. However you can start rebuilding your credit immediately after your case is discharged.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Southlake Texas?
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 this exemption you can likely keep your home in a Chapter 7 case. For Chapter 13 you can keep your home by catching up on missed payments through a repayment plan.
