Common Questions

Bankruptcy FAQ

Will I lose my house or car?

Usually no. Texas has generous exemptions. Most people keep their home, vehicle, clothes, furniture, and other essential property. We review your specific situation during your consultation.

Will bankruptcy ruin my credit forever?

No. Many people begin rebuilding their credit immediately after discharge and qualify for credit cards and car loans within one to two years. The damage from unpaid debt often exceeds the impact of a discharged bankruptcy.

Will my spouse be affected?

Not unless they also file. In some cases we need their income information to complete the required means test forms. We will walk you through this at your consultation.

Will my employer find out?

Usually not. Bankruptcy is a public record, but employers rarely check. The most common disclosure situation is when a wage garnishment must be stopped and the employer is notified as part of the process.

How do I know if I qualify?

You may qualify for Chapter 7 if your income is below a certain level or if you pass the "means test," which compares your income and expenses. We check this for you during your free consultation - no guessing required.
