"Texas Bankruptcy Schedules"

All Texas bankruptcy cases require a complete set of conforming Schedules. Within these Schedules, debtors must provide a list of all assets, liabilities, and creditors. In addition, many other legal financial disclosures are required and must be submitted in a format approved by the Clerk of the Court. All Texas bankruptcy courts also require conformity with the Federal Rules of Procedure, including affirmations of the truth of matters including, subject to the pains of perjury and contempt. Texas bankruptcy schedules are the core documents upon which each case is founded and upon which relief may be granted.

Texas bankruptcy courts provide free forms to debtors upon request. Also, clerks may provide a package of documents including instructions for filing. Usually, these packets include: 1) an official form for the petition, 2) a current fee requirements and options, 3) instructions for preparing a mailing matrix, 4) debtor rights for discharge, and 5) a glossary of common bankruptcy terms. Be aware, forms provided and instructions may not include all necessary documents throughout the completion of the case. Texas bankruptcy courts allow pro se debtors to file paper forms. Also, Texas courts permit emergency filing after hours online. To file online, attorneys must apply for approval and receive a personal account before filing. Payment of filing fees online may be provided by credit card.
