Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Judgment Creditor Limitations

I am executor of an estate that has a judgment against it. The primary asset is an annuity. I have been told that in CA law, the judgment can claim only 25% of the annuity. First, is this true? Second, is it also true in Texas?
