Bankruptcy is a daunting concept for many, so it is understandable that a debtor would want to keep this time in his/her life under wraps. The bad news is that bankruptcies are a matter of public record and only certain information, such as social security numbers and other identifiers, will be kept under seal. The good news is that in a large metropolitan area such as Dallas, a bankruptcy is not newsworthy and it is unlikely that a bankruptcy would get any special attention.
