Prop. Code �� 42.001, 42.002, and 42.0021. These sections protect debtors from seizure or attachment of a variety of particular items from clothing, bicycles, and firearms to livestock, and set a protected value of personal property of $60,000 for a family, or $30,000 for a single adult.(2) Secured creditors on any particular item of property are not bound by this exemption.(3)
