Re: Sister state judgment

You need a Congressional or 3-Part Affidavit issued by the PA court clerk. Then you be best off contacting an attorney in the county where the people live to file an Application For Entry Of A Foreign Judgment. That, along with your documents, is filed as a new judgment and will be final 30 days from entry.

Texas was settled by deadbeats from Georgia and Tennessee, and they wrote the laws making Texas a debtor's haven. Collection of a judgment against individuals is almost impossible.
