Debt lawsuits here in Texas can be pretty scary. You've usually managed to avoid your creditors for quite a while, and even probably made some payments towards your debt, and then all of a sudden an officer of the court shows up and serves you with a court appearance. All of sudden you realize this situation isn't going away. Most people's first instinct is to just avoid the lawsuit in the hopes that they won't have to deal with it. Unfortunately, this is the worst solution to your financial future.
If you fail to respond quickly to being served a debt lawsuit in Texas, your creditor will win a default judgment against you. From there, they will be allowed to garnish your wages and attach the judgment to you for the next 10 years.

You have to respond to the lawsuit and you have to do it quickly and in a manner the court expects.
