In Texas it is legal to be served at work. I've been served at work before so I know it's legal.

Thanks for some suggestions, I gave tennent 2 months notice to move out cause I needed to move back in. She stopped paying rent and stayed another 2 months without paying rent and no fowarding address. If I can't get her in court I think I can at least report it to the credit bearu as an uncollectable debt and mess up whatever credit they have for awhile. She was a tennant at will no lease.

I evicted my tenants, took them to small claims court and won. Now I have to collect the money. He doesn't work but she is employed but I don't know where. I have her SS# and DL#. How do I find her employer so I can garnish her wages?

Did she ever write you a check? I'm pretty sure you can put a lien on her bank account. Might be the easiest thing to do. Talk to your bank about getting images of checks you deposited.

Is there any info on her employer on the application?

Not sure, otherwise. You could hire a PI. Might be cheaper to just give it to a collection agency. Check that out, if the lien on the bank account doesn't work.

Thank you. I heard that if you put a lien on the checking account, and yes, I have a copy of one of her checks, she will just change banks. That is why I need her employer

How do you know she'll change banks?

Why not take the easier, softer way? Try the bank first....

Is this about getting your money or wrecking her life at her job? I'm not above revenge, just wondering...

The website of the court which issued the judgment should provide that information, or go down to the courthouse to speak to the clerk who'll tell you the procedure.

Can't go to a collection agency. He has to have a judgement to do that

Hey CptnRn
You can serve them at work. I have done it in California. I used a service that basically did everything for you including setting up the small claims court date. They set up the file, do the search, serve them ( found out later they served them at work) and file the court papers, I think it cost me $300. But all I had to do was show up at my court date.
