Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Release of Judgment
What are my options if an attorney was paid in full on a Judgment for attorney fees on a Probate case in Harris Co., by the Estate Administrator when paid directly to the attorney instead of the Brazoria County Probate Ct. where the Judgment was obtained? The attorney paid, refuses to report the settlement was made. I am being turned down for employment and or credit. I cannot afford an atty. and this judgment was joint with my sister. She refuses to help and does not qualify for aid.

Re: Release of Judgment
Get a copy of the cancelled check showing direct payment to the attorney. No cancelled check? Then you have no proof of payment. Sorry.
