How Do I File for Bankruptcy in Texas?

The first step when filing Texas is choosing the right type of consumer bankruptcy for your situation. There are two options: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.

With Chapter 7, you can get a financial fresh start by legally eliminating your debts. While a case trustee is legally permitted to sell some of your belongings to pay back creditors, in our experience, DebtStoppers clients usually keep everything they own.

If you choose Chapter 13, you can reduce your debts and consolidate them into a 3-to-5-year plan that repays around 10% of your debts — rather than completely wiping them out. You make one reasonable payment each month until your program is complete and you keep all of your possessions.

After deciding which type you want to file, you can initiate the process by filing a petition in the nearest Texas district court.

How Much Does Bankruptcy Cost?

Because every case is different, our attorney fees vary, but our rates are among the most competitive in Texas. Affordable payment plans are always available, allowing you to pay your fees over time.

On top of legal fees, the court will charge you a $310 filing fee for Chapter 13 and a $335 filing fee for Chapter 7. DebtStoppers is one of the few law firms in the country that will advance the Chapter 7 filing fee. We'll wipe out your debts before you pay us a single cent.
