More than likely, yes. The state of Texas as well as the federal bankruptcy code provide exemptions for personal property that may be retained during a liquidation proceeding. Under the federal code a personal vehicle valued at or under $3,225 may be exempted. In Texas, a debtor may keep one motor vehicle.
If you are considering filing for Chapter 7 but are concerned about what you may have to give up, it is imperative that you speak to experienced counsel that knows the law inside and out. Contact the Fears | Nachawati Law Firm today for a consultation.
