What are the main types of bankruptcy for individuals in Stafford Texas?
The two most common types are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 liquidates non-exempt assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years. Texas law allows you to keep your home and certain personal property under state exemption rules.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Texas?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can begin rebuilding credit soon after your case is discharged.
Do I have to live in Stafford to file bankruptcy there?
You must file in the federal bankruptcy court for the district where you have lived for the majority of the 180 days before filing. For Stafford residents, this is typically the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. You do not need to file in a specific Stafford courthouse.
