Texas Property Tax Code Mobile Homes
Filing bankruptcy does not affect liability for taxes owed to the
State of Texas. In Chapter 7, taxes remain due and payable and may be
collected if (when) the court approves the State's motion to lift stay.
In Chapter 13 however, debtors may include past due amounts in the plan,
and extend payment for up to 5 years. In Chapter 13, the court is highly
unlikely to lift the stay so long as payments remain current.
Consumer bankruptcy specialists are known for liberal use of legal assistance and paralegals. Legal assistants and paralegals may only assist lawyers when providing legal advice. They may not practice law or represent individuals in court. Legal assistants and paralegals generally provide a valuable service and reduces attorney fees, costs, and expenses by performing legal tasks for an attorney who remains responsible for all work product produced. As professionals, all states require attorneys to pass a state bar examination, and as a condition of remaining in good standing, must insure all work performed by paralegals achieves the same quality result as would be produced by an attorney.
Also note - the Texas Property Tax Code, Mobile Homes provision creates liability
which must be included within the list of creditors.
