Protecting Your Rights After Winning Your Case

Winning an eviction case or securing a judgment is a significant victory, but it’s not always the end of the process. Tenants may refuse to vacate the property, and judgment debtors often fail to pay willingly. At Evict Your Tenant, we provide comprehensive post-judgment legal services to enforce your rights and ensure compliance with court orders. From securing Writs of Possession to creating enforceable judgment liens through Abstracts of Judgment, our experienced team is here to help you navigate the final steps of the legal process.

Writ of Possession

What Happens If the Tenant Refuses to Leave?

A Writ of Possession is a court order issued after you win an eviction case. This order instructs law enforcement to physically remove a tenant and their belongings from your property. It is the final step in the eviction process and ensures that you can regain full possession of your property. At Evict Your Tenant, we handle the issuance and enforcement of Writs of Possession, working with local authorities to ensure the process is carried out legally and efficiently.

What Happens If the Judgment Debtor Refuses to Pay?

Winning a monetary judgment doesn’t always guarantee payment. If the judgment debtor refuses to pay, the first step in enforcing the judgment is securing an Abstract of Judgment. This document creates a judgment lien that attaches to the debtor’s real property in the county where the abstract is recorded. It notifies interested parties of the lien, ensuring that anyone acquiring the debtor’s property must address the lien before the property can transfer free of debt.

Our team assists landlords in obtaining and recording Abstracts of Judgment, providing a powerful tool to enforce payment. With our support, you can protect your financial interests and ensure that your judgment is enforceable.

Testimonials

Tom Huynh assisted me in being the executor of my brother’s estate, even though I did not live in Texas. It was not a straight forward process as my brother and I were estranged, I had lost contact with him for many years. During those years my brother became confused and at the time of his death was living on the street. Tom did a wonderful job guiding the steps through the court system to resolve the estate. He went above and beyond just being helpful. He spent hours helping with reaching people, I was too far away to reach, to bring the estate to a resolution. I would use him again in a minute! I just wish he lived in my state!

Mr. Huynh was very, very helpful in the handling of my late father's probate. He handled all issues that arose with the utmost level of professionalism. He's a very down-to-earth and personable law professional who is easy to communicate with. Thanks for all the assistance you provided us Tom.

Hieu Hyunh of Hyunh&Hyunh is a really nice guy (for a lawyer!)....LOLOL I have known him for over 20 years, and he has represented me on about half a dozen matters, corporate and personal. Their office is convenient with free parking, and he is prompt with responses, calls, texts, and emails. We are close to settling a large auto claim (dump truck rear ended me... He got $40,000) that includes auto repair, and personal medical \ physical therapy and steroid injections in back and neck. Atty Hyunh has made this difficult process so much easier to take! jf
