Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Tennessee

I have a property that was being rented to three family members. Each of the family members are over the age of 18, and signed the lease. The rent has been paid late every mont of the occupancy. We filed a detainer warrant for possession and money totaling the back rent and late fees., and received a court hearing for tomorrow. I just found out (not from an attorney) that one of the tenants has filed for bankruptcy. Do I have any recourse at this late point, since I know that a bankruptcy places a "stop" on all legal/collection activities? Also, can I still go into court and get a judgement against the other two family members, regardless of the bankruptcy filing?
