Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

I might have a judgment put against me. I have nothing at all but my apartment and car that I still make payments on. My payroll checks are deposited into my checking account, and I know they could put a judgment against my checking account. My question is when my daughter was younger and she first started working, a checking account was opened in her name but she was a minor than so my name had to be put on the account, she is now 19, and my name is still on her account, can they also put a judgment against her checking account.
