Wage Garnishment - Business Owner

I was wondering if somebody is not ''employed'' but owns a small business and gets a judgment against them from a creditor, how would that creditor go about doing any sort of wage attachement?

Per the Texas constitution, wages may not be garnished in the State of Texas. Bank accounts may be garnished post-judgment or a Motion for Turnover may be filed and an Order for Turnover of all proceeds of a business may be obtained post-judgment.

In addition to Ms. Campbell's response, a writ of levy and sale may issue allowing the sheriff or constable to seize and sell the business property.
