How to collect judgment for 5 month's overdue rent in Fort Worth, Texas?

Rajib Bahar
Posted

We got a judgment in our favor. My lawyer's team suggest that the former tenant may be too poor to pay. They are concerned that after we pay for the research to find and locate tenant and their bank account, they may not have anything to pay with. What has been your experience collecting on judgment? Should I find another lawyer or work with bill collection team? Who do you recommend?

You probably won't ever see that money. You got the judgment and the win, but the likelihood of collecting is slim to none.
