Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
collection of judgment
I received a judgment in a deceptive trade case in the 1980s. My lawyer is no longer practicing law and the judge in the case is no longer. What do I need to do to keep the judgment current or collect on it?

Unless you have obtained a writ of execution and asked the sheriff to go collect since 1999, your judgment has probably lapsed.
