Question
I have a brother who had a blind & shutter business. He recently had a Judgment entered against him in Small Claims Court in Denton, Texas, on December 17, 2007, in the amount of $5,137.35 plus post-judgment interest of 7.50% per annum. He has no assets. He was recently served with Interrogatories regarding assets which he answered. The Judgment also contained fraud. He would be willing to try to pay this out, but didn't know if he should even contact them. Also, if he does not pay this, what can happen regarding the fraud? Would they have to file something in criminal court? Thank you.
Nancy:
Yes, in order to prosecute him the District Attorney would have to bring forth charges. That is unlikely to arise simply because someone plead it as a count in a civil action.
