A:
The bankruptcy court that you file your bankruptcy in will be determined by where you have lived for the majority of the 180 days immediately before filing. You are required to list all assets and debts when you file bankruptcy and that would include a house in P.R.
You should contact an experienced local bankruptcy attorney and schedule a consultation. You can search for an attorney using the Justia "Find a Lawyer" link at the top of this page.
A: Yes. You can include the house in Puerto Rico in your bankruptcy in Texas.
