Re: default judment
Pobably very little. You'd need a collateral attack on the judgment itself to show that it was improper. That's a very hard burden to carry.

Fundamentally, you would have to show that the judgment was illegal in the sister state. Heavy burden. Who is doing this to you?
Re: default judment
You are fighting an uphill battle if you allowed a default judgment in another state and they are seeking to enforce it in TX. You can consult with an attorney; it wouldn't take long to determine your options.
