I understand that Texas has a homestead protection law. does this law apply to out of state property if case is in Texas but I live in Illinois? can I have protection?

Re: homestead protection
Texas has one of the most protective homestead provisions in the country. Unfortunately, it is the Illinois law that will apply to collection attempts made on property in Illinois, regardless of where the judgment comes from.
