Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

If I am sued?

If I was sued for $4000.00 through the justice of the peace court in san antonio texas......(I borrowed money from a friend) and I was ordered to pay the money....what happens if I don't pay the money? Will I go to jail or will they garnish my wages or take it out of my income taxes at the end of the year? What is the worst that can happen?
