Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Credit card debt versus nursing home

My mother in law is currently staying in

Texas with her daughter. She owes less than $1000.00 on a credit card. She may soon be going into a nursing home and place on medicaid. They will take all of her social security and pension benefits and leave her with a stipend. What happens to her credit card debt as she doesn not have the funds to pay it off?

They'll turn the account over to a collection agency and start bothering people to try and get her to pay. Eventually they'll write it off and wait to see if there's anything in her probate estate.
