Default Judgments in Texas - How to avoid messing up your case

This video is about Default Judgments in Texas. Default Judgments are generally taken when someone doesn't answer a lawsuit. A Default Judgment can seem like a victory but, if you do it wrong, you can find out later that you have lost your ability to collect on the judgment because of a simple mistake.

If a debt lawsuit is missing my "II" at the end of my name, which is on my ID, SS card and birth certificate, is it still suing me? Could i get it dropped if this was tje case?

Sometimes. Is it an actual judgment or just a debt? If it is a Judgment, did you receive notice of the Court case when it happened?

You can call the Harris County Clerks and they will tell you. You can also look online right here:

I'd call the county or district clerk directly. Generally, you will find someone helpful. If you have the case number or other information ready, they will be even more helpful. Good luck.
