I am just a possible customer wanting to know what experience others have had (if any) with this website. 

I forgot to add that the debtor's property is located directly on Interstate 44 (AKA Central Freeway) between Wichita Falls, TX and Oklahoma City, OK.  I think it is a very good  investment opportunity and could be worth big bucks.  View property details at this website:  wadtx.com   Search account numbers/property ids = 100283 and 100284.  Got questions?  Reach me direct like so:  my name at Comcast dot net.  My thinking is this:  if I can not collect on this judgment maybe someone else can.

To Shawn Porat: Thanks for the wonderful input! I wish you had the collection service ready now. This debtor has real property assets under a single member LLC name which has been defunct for ten years. My problem is I think my Abstract of Judgment is defective --- which makes it unenforceable. I have contacted several attorneys in the Dallas Fort Worth Metro and no one wants to help me file a new corrected AJ. Any suggestions? I need help.

I would like to either sell this Texas money judgment mentioned above or possibly split the proceeds with any lawyer who is willing to work with us.  It can be viewed for free at TexasLandRecords.com.  Final Judgment is at Volume 3761 page 409.  Abstract of Judgment is at Volume 3765 Page 210.  Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure is at Volume 4067 Page 707.  The judgment amount was around $51K in 2012 and has been accruing interest since then.  How much do Texas money judgments normally sell for ?  All comments and advice are welcome.  Debtor has filed bankruptcy twice in 2013 --- both times dismissed.  I think the property he owns will come up for Sheriff's sale in January 2016. 

Has anyone used JudgmentMarketPlace.com   ?

I have a Texas money judgment I would like to sell (final judgment and abstract done by a Denton, TX law firm).  I am wondering if this site is worthwhile.

The article online says the mother who sued OJ listed her civil judgment there.  And a dentist listed a judgment he had against the Kardashian family.

Comments welcome.

Ok, so I am back on the topic of Wichita County Texas Tax Deed Sales. What happens if a property is coming up for sheriff's sale and it is owned by a business that has not paid the Texas Franchise Tax for 10 years? The Texas Taxable Entity Search page says something like "entity has been forfeited for failure to pay franchise tax". What exactly does this mean ? Is the business dead and gone ? Who actually owns this property if it is a single member LLC ? Does this cause any problems in selling the property ?

To:  Michael Morrison   Who did the foundation work and were you happy with them ?  Have you had any recurring problems ?

Wow ! My sincere thanks to all the generous people who answered my request for information!  We just got back from Wichita Falls, Texas on Friday 7 Aug 15.  The temps were 100 degrees and over during the day.  It cooled down to 80 degrees at night.  The city is bursting with new businesses, restaurants and a positive attitude.  The drought is over.  They are trying hard to attract new commerce by offering incentives to motivate new businesses to move in and create more jobs.  We were very pleased with the progress we saw since our last visit five years ago.  Wichita Falls has a low cost of living and we think will make a very nice place to retire.  Housing is very affordable.  We can drive the whole town in 15 minutes --- no traffic jams like Denver !  A new Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage supplies organic groceries to the locals.  Gas was cheap at $2.27 for regular.  We found everything we need there.  Our only set-back was the inspection of our single family rental house.  There were signs of foundation problems --- cracks in the tile floor and some cracks in ceiling near the perimeter of the house.  We had a foundation person look at it and he said "looks like a possible small leak under the slab foundation".  I am looking for advice about what to do next.  Who is the best plumber in Wichita Falls who can detect and repair small slab leaks ?  What equipment or test is the best for finding tiny leaks ?  All advice is welcome.

I have an interest in two properties which I think are very desirable on Central Freeway in Wichita Falls Texas (account# 100283 and 100284).  The local school district plans to build a tech school in the area and so interest is keen.   I can see on the website called wichitatax dot com that these properties are being prepared for a sheriff's sale.  How long are properties advertised ?  How can I find out when the sale will take place ?
