Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a reorganization bankruptcy that is designed to help consumers create a plan for repaying debts rather than simply discharging them completely. Depending on your situation, this may be an advantageous form of bankruptcy because it does not put as negative a mark on one's credit report. A Texas bankruptcy, like any other state, has certain nuances specific to the state. In Texas, you must have a "regular source of income" and have some disposable income to apply towards your Chapter 13 payment plan. Moving forward, please consult a Bankruptcy attorney to determine the proper course of action.
