Abstract of Judgement
Is there a deadline to file an Abstract of Judgment in Texas?
The reason I am asking is that my evicted tenant would like to make monthly payments to pay off her judgment. However, it would take her about 2.5 years to payoff the balance. Should I just file the Abstract and hope she pays one day or set up a payment plan and file the Abstract when she defaults on the payment plan? I don't want to screw myself over if I accept the monthly payments and then she defaults a year later and I missed the deadline to file the abstract in the county records.
