What steps do I go through to garnish wages?

Answer 1

You would have to take him to court and get a judgment against him. You would then have to ask the court to garnish his wages in payment of the judgment.

Answer 2

TEXAS: Texas law requires a three-day notice for eviction for breach of the lease unless the notice provides for a shorter or longer notice period. If utilities are part of the rent payment, the landlord can cut off the utilities but must give a five-day written notice of intent to do so, and the tenant must be at least seven days late in paying the rent. The landlord may legally change the lock on the tenant's door when rent is delinquent but must first give the tenant at least three days advance written notice of intent to change the locks if the rent is not paid. The landlord must also leave a statement attached to the outside of the door explaining where the tenant may acquire a new key. By law, the landlord must give the tenant the key when requested, even if the tenant has not paid rent. The landlord has 30 days to return the security deposit after termination of the lease.

Answer 3

step one is give tenant a 3 day pay or quit and a 30 day notice to vacat [check with a lawyler] and had him or her file the papers with the court it will cost you $$ but it worth it, small claims court is not always the way to go and then after judge sign the papers you ask judge for a satisfaction of judgement, then you can have salary garnished

Answer 4

with a sprig of parsley. But seriously, you must get a judgement and then you can file to execute that judgement. Way too much crap in most counties, just give it to a collection agency or atty.
