Post query in LA, not TX. Hire a LA collection attorney or real estate litigator. The foreign Judgment will need to be localized if it has not already been. Hopefully you have the Judgment filed as a lien. A bond may be required to execute the levy.

Q: Can an act of donation only be done between relatives in Louisiana.?

Donating a movable to parties who are not related closely is not approved by Louisiana law correct?

answered on Aug 29, 2024

There does not have to be a relative relationship between donor and donee. One can donate a movable to anyone. If there was this restriction, then one would not be able to donate a movable to a non-profit organization and/or a church.
