Absolutely. The Full Faith and Credit clause requires that state courts respect the decisions of other state courts. So long as the FL court had jurisdiction over the defendant (and if you had a trial and stuff, then it did), then that court's decision is enforceable everywhere. The case was already decided and they can't get away from it just by moving to another state. There would be a completely different issue if you lived in FL and sued there and the defendant had never been to FL and always lived in TX. But that doesn't seem to be the case. If you and defendant had a lawsuit in FL it is enforceable anywhere.

The answerers so far have it partially right. There is an actual process, and an actual name to it all. You must "domesticate" the judgment into Texas. Meaning, you must file documentation and pay a fee.

You will need to understand in which county your debtor resides. Then contact that court. They will walk you through your next steps.

Be prepared that, depending on the financial state of your debtor, you're in for a long haul process. Both Florida and Texas are debtor-friendly, with Texas being only slightly better for the creditor in terms of recovery.

Our company collects on civil judgments valued at over $5,000, and where the creditor perceives the judgment to be collectible. See our website below for more information.

The Full Faith and Credit clause of the U.S. Constitution requires all states to give full faith and credit to the judgments of sister states. The general procedure is to get a certified copy of the Florida judgment, take it to a Texas court, ask the Texas court to accept the Florida judgment and enforce it against a Texas resident. Texas will do it. You will need a Florida attorney to get the certified judgment and a Texas attorney to enforce the judgment. Good luck.

I worked stats for the SDSU activity with Utah and that i have watched Texas and Texas Tech on television. Utah is an particularly reliable college football team yet they don't look a real 5 team nationally and only fairly a real 10 team. Utah has gained and advantages an section in between the BCS matchups. They commute properly yet maximum critically they deserve a matchup with a severe high quality opponent. they are going to manhandle both Pittburgh or Cincinnati from the massive East. they are going to tournament up favorably and defeat Florida State from the ACC. they ought to have the threat to take their 0 contained in the loss column up hostile to both Florida, Oklahoma, Texas or Alabama to manage to coach once and for all that the Mountain West has an section on the table. Or no longer. (USC rather a lot has a date with Penn State contained in the Rose)
