"Texas Bankruptcy Dismissal"

In all cases, Texas bankruptcy dismissals are common. Most of these dismissals are without prejudice to re-filing. Upon receipt of a notice of intent to dismiss, many errors may be corrected and dismissal avoided. If a case is dismissed, debtors must however wait 180 days before re-filing. In practice, dismissals are avoidable by careful planning of Chapter filing date, and proper disclosures within schedules.

In Texas, legal definitions are derived from many sources, both federal and state: case law, statutes, rules of procedure, rules of evidence, and local practices. The application of law determines meaning, rather than common usage in ordinary conversations. For instance, a particular phrase used in a significant court decision may become popular, and is understood to include the rationale and requirements contained in the published opinion. For this reason, any debtor who may have questions about legal terminology should contact a qualified attorney for clarification. Most consumer specialists offer free consultations for anyone who is considering filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
