Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Texas

Couldn't keep up with Chapter 13 payments

Did you tell your lawyer (the one who did the Chapter 13 for you) about your injury and that you were off work with no or limited income?

Did you tell the Chapter 13 Trustee about your injury and that you were off work with no or limited income?

Had you done either, you could have amended your plan to reduce the payments during the time you were receiving worker's conpensation.

Now, if your Chapter 13 has been dismissed, the only thing you can do is re-file (which you may unless the bankruptcy court in the dismissal order enjoined you from filing for a certain number of days/weeks/months, etc.

Now, you have to hire another attorney (or re-hire the one who did the original Chapter 13) and re-pay the filing fee UNLESS your attorney can convince the bankruptcy court to re-open your case for the purpose of temporarily modifying your plan.
