Can a Debt Collector Take My Home in Texas?
By Pamela Stewart, Attorney at Law on Oct 15, 2007 in General Bankruptcy Information, Texas
NO!!! While some collectors will threaten to foreclose on your homestead, they cannot do so in Texas. (If you own rental property, they can.) Under Texas law, a homestead cannot be taken to pay a debt except for debts taken for the purchase of your home, for home improvements, for home equity loans or to pay certain taxes.
