An Overview of Texas Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Post by Christopher Migliaccio

When you’re considering filing bankruptcy, you may not be aware of the options that you have. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy doesn’t discharge all of your debts, but it does put you on the path towards a new and bright financial future, free of credit problems. The path might not be easy, but the assistance of a Texas bankruptcy attorney can smooth the process for you and your family.

Many people mistakenly believe that anyone who doesn’t qualify for Chapter 7 will automatically qualify for Chapter 13 – this is not the case. In addition to being able to afford to make your debt repayments, your total secured debts cannot be more than $1,081,400 and your unsecured debts cannot surpass $360,475. Secured debts are those that give creditors the authority to take your property (like your car or your house) if you don’t make your payments.

The benefit of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that you get to keep your property as opposed to having it auctioned off to repay your debts. Your co-debtors will also be spared the harassment of creditors, provided you continue to meet your monthly payments. The term of your repayment plan, usually a 3-5 years, depends on how much you earn and how much debt you have.
