Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Texas Wage Garnishment

I moved to TX from AZ about 8 months ago. I had a default judgement filed against me in 07' for a car repo. I believe the last time paid anything on it would have been in either 03' or 04', most likely the begining of 04'.

My ex-boyfried paid off the debt in 05' since i wasn't working at the time, and we were going to get a new car... my relationship w/ him was physically abusive, and I left him, so now have no proof that the debt has been paid. The judgement is about $3600....

Well, now that judgement has turned into a Writ Of Garnishment. it was filed in April of 08', and served to my company headquarters in CT this past January. I was not notified, and my company honored the garnishment... I only found out because of the shortage in my check... Is there anything I can do to stop it?
