Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

On Monday an attorney placed a "garnishment" hold on my joint (with uninjured spouse) checking account. This came out of the blue after not hearing from him for FOUR years. No warning this was going to happen. The very next day, I filed emergency bankruptcy and I have a case number and a hearing date. Said lawyer is now refusing to remove the garnishment hold from my bank account stating he put the hold on before I filed bankruptcy. I thought I was under protection from continued attempts at collection. Is what he is doing legal?? How do I get the hold removed??
