“Bankruptcy” is a legal proceeding in which a person who cannot pay his/her bills can get a “fresh start”. In Texas, the bankruptcy code is a federal law, meaning it applies uniformly nationwide. Filing for bankruptcy immediately stops creditors from collecting debts from you until the debts are sorted out through an “automatic stay.” Each state, as well as the federal government, have enacted legislation that dictates what property debtors can keep through the bankruptcy process. These laws are known as “exemption laws”.
