Answer:
I wish I could help you, but Texas garnishment law is astonishingly complicated and I am a long way from finishing my book. I have not seen any simple form that a non-lawyer can safely use. Texas courts have long held that garnishment is a harsh remedy and requires strict compliance with the statutory provisions and related rules, Beggs v. Fite, 106 S.W.2d 1039 (Tex. 1937), and there are a LOT of rules. You have to get it right first time, or they will happily bounce your garnishment petition out the door and down the courthouse steps. There are over one thousand Texas appellate court opinions on garnishment and I have read only about 200, so far. I’m working on it. One of these days I’ll be able to provide an instruction manual, but not today. Thanks for asking. Good luck to you.
