1 Information & Instructions: Seizure of debtor's property prior to judgment 1. Texas law provides for sequestration of the defendant's property. Garnishment provides for seizure of the debtor's monies held in banks or financial institutions. 2. The purpose of prejudgment attachment, garnishment, and sequestration is to prevent the debtor from selling, disposing, transferring, wasting, or encumbering the assets which the creditor ultimately seeks to use to satisfy the Judgment. 3. Prejudgment remedies are effective means to preserve assets to satisfy the debt and are very useful negotiating tools to effect settlements. 4. Due to the recent constitutional challenges of prejudgment remedies, courts have taken the position that the remedies are extraordinary measures. Accordingly, the applicant must strictly comply with the terms of the statute authorizing the remedy. 5. In some counties, Writs of Attachment, Sequestration, and Garnishment, as well as the officer's return, are prepared by the clerk of the court. Information & Instructions: Sequestration 1. Sequestration was previously authorized by Tex Rev Civ Stats, Art 6840 and is now codified under the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 62, Sequestion. 2. In order to seize the debtor's exempt property in which the creditor holds a security interest, the creditor must comply with the code provisions. 3. The creditor should consider obtaining a sequestration order in the following circumstances: 4. When a person sues for title or possession of realty or foreclosure of the lien on real property and there is a reasonable probability that immediate danger would result by the debtor's continued possession of the property or the debtor intends to convert the same or its rents, revenue, timber, or other proceeds; 5. When a person sues for title or possession of any property from which he or she has been ejected by force or violence; 6. When a person sues to try title to any real property, to remove a cloud on the property, or to foreclose a lien and swears under oath that the defendant is a nonresident; or 7. When a person sues for title or possession of personal property or fixtures or foreclosure of a lien and the court finds immediate danger may exist that the defendant will conceal, waste, dispose, ill-treat, destroy, transfer or secrete the property from the county.

2 8. To obtain a Writ of Sequestration on personal property, the creditor must have a security interest in the property. 9. A Writ of Attachment permits a creditor to have the sheriff seize a debtor's nonexempt property to secure payment on a previously unsecured debt. 10. The difference between attachment and sequestration is that a Writ for Sequestration requires the applicant to have a security interest in the property whereas attachment does not. Sequestration may be obtained on the debtor's exempt property, if a proper security interest has been perfected. 11. A Writ of Attachment may issue under the circumstances specified in Civ Prac & Rem Code et seq., et seq. as follows: a. Debtor is a nonresident or foreign corporation, b. Debtor may permanently move from the state and has refused to pay the debt due, c. Debtor is hiding so that process cannot be served upon him, d. Debtor is about to remove his property from the state without leaving sufficient assets or property to satisfy his obligations, e. Debtor is about to remove his property out of the county where suit is brought with an intention to defraud his creditors, f. Defendant has disposed or is in all probability about to dispose of his property with the intent of defrauding his creditors, g. Debtor intends to convert all or part of his property into money and likewise defraud his creditors by putting it beyond the reach of his creditors, h. The debt is due for property that was obtained under false pretenses or misrepresentations. 12. The following Texas Rules of Civil Procedure outline the requirements and procedure for attachment of a debtor's property: TRCP 592 Section Application for writ of attachment and order; TRCP 592a Section Bond for attachment; TRCP 592b Section Form of attachment bond; TRCP 593 Section Requisites for a writ; TRCP 594 Section Form of writ; TRCP 595 Section Several writs; TRCP 596 Section Delivery of writ; TRCP 597 Section Duty of officer;

3 TRCP 598 Section Levy; how made; TRCP 598a Section Service of writ on defendant; TRCP 599 Section Replevy of defendant; TRCP 600 Section Sale of perishable property; TRCP 601 Section To protect interest; TRCP 602 Section Bond of applicant for sale; TRCP 603 Section Procedure for sale; TRCP 604 Section Return of sale; TRCP 605 Section Judge may make necessary order; TRCP 606 Section Return of writ; TRCP 607 Section Report of disposition; TRCP 608 Section Dissolution or modification of writ of attachment; TRCP 609 Section Amendment. 13. Procedure a. A suit or recovery of the property sought to be attached or a claim for damages on a breach of contract or sworn account must be filed prior to or simultaneously with the application for the Writ of Attachment. b. Attachment is ancillary to the underlying suit for recovery of monies owed and therefore bears the same cause number. c. First prepare and file a lawsuit against the debtor. d. Prepare and file an Application for Writ of Attachment. e. Prepare and file the supporting affidavit and the order granting application. f. Arrange with the court for an ex parte hearing on the application. If the court grants the application, post the required bond. g. If the court does not grant the application ex parte, set a hearing with the clerk and issue the notice of show cause hearing and obtain service on the defendant. If the court grants the application after the show cause hearing, post a bond with the clerk. court. h. The bond should be payable to the defendant and posted with the clerk of the i. Prepare the order granting the Application for Writ of Attachment. The order must state the specific grounds which justify the attachment. It should also state the location, value and description of the items to be attached. j Have the clerk prepare the Writ of Attachment.

4 k. Have the sheriff or constable serve the writ on defendant and levy the property stated in the court's order. Form: Plaintiff's application for writ of sequestration PLAINTIFF vs. DEFENDANT CAUSE NUMBER IN THE [Type of Court] COURT [Court number] PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF SEQUESTRATION OF [NAME], COUNTY, TEXAS [name of plaintiff], Plaintiff, applies to the Court for an order directing issuance of a Writ of Sequestration for the property described in this application below and for grounds for this writ would show the following: 1.1 Plaintiff is [name]. 1.2 Defendant is [name]. 1. PARTIES 2. ANCILLARY ACTION 2.1 Pursuant to the Petition filed in the above designated Court and captioned as stated above, Plaintiff seeks [specify relief requested, such as: to recover damages and personal property that it delivered to Defendant, which property was obtained by Defendant under false pretenses. Plaintiff therefore seeks return of that property]. 2.2 Plaintiff delivered to Defendant [describe goods and/or services delivered], as detailed and described in Exhibit "A" attached to this application pursuant to the invoices, marked Exhibits through, which are incorporated by reference.

5 3. STATEMENT OF FACTS 3.1 [For Sequestration, insert the facts applicable to the creation of the lien and the facts that entitle Plaintiff to that relief.] OR 3.1 [For Attachment, insert the facts that detail how the property was obtained by fraud, or will be sold, etc.] 4. DEMANDS 4.1 Per Exhibit "C", Plaintiff has made repeated demands upon Defendant to pay the above stated monies. Notwithstanding those demands, Defendant has refused to pay the sums owed. [If applicable: Plaintiff informed Defendant that the company planned to pick up and repossess that equipment; the Defendant has wrongfully refused to allow Plaintiff to retake the equipment.] 5. RELIEF REQUESTED 5.1 Per the Original Petition filed in this cause, Plaintiff seeks damages from Defendant, or possession of the equipment listed below, or in the alternative, foreclosure of its lien pursuant to Article XVI, Section 37 of the Texas Constitution in the following property: [describe the equipment plaintiff is seeking to possess or the property on which foreclose of the lien is sought]. 5.2 The value of the property is $[Amount]. At the time of making this application, all of the above described property is in the Defendant's possession at [address], County, Texas. 5.3 Plaintiff prays the Court enter a Writ of [Sequestration or Attachment] applicable to the above described property so that Plaintiff may recover its property and the monies due and owed to Plaintiff. 6. GROUNDS

6 6.1 Defendant has failed and refused to surrender possession of the above listed property. That refusal and the nonpayment for the goods, constitutes an intention to conceal the property or an intention to dispose of it. The facts justifying the relief requested are [specify in detail]. Accordingly, reasonable cause exists to believe that Defendant may sell or remove from this jurisdiction all the property that is the subject of the application. Per the attached affidavit, Defendant has notified Plaintiff that it has insufficient funds to pay for the property Plaintiff delivered to Defendant. Defendant is using the property, and is thereby wasting that property, since continued use depreciates the property and renders it commercially unfit for resale. 6.2 Plaintiff fears that Defendant may dispose, sell, assign, damage or transfer the property from [Name of County], Texas without notice of Plaintiff's claim to the third party. Plaintiff has attached an affidavit stating that the facts contained in this application are true and correct. Therefore an immediate danger exists that the Defendant may not have the property on hand or that sufficient assets may not be available to satisfy the judgment in the underlying action. 6.3 Plaintiff is not applying for a Writ of [Sequestration or Attachment] for purposes of injury, harassment or embarrassment to Defendant but for the sole purpose of recovering its goods. PRAYER Plaintiff requests this Court enter its Order granting Plaintiff's application and order the Clerk of the Court to issue a Writ of [Sequestration or Attachment] for the personal property of Defendant listed in Exhibit "A" to this application and specifying the maximum value of property that may be attached and fixing the amount of a bond, if required of Plaintiff, and the amount of

7 bond required of Defendant to replevy the same. Plaintiff further prays for such other and further relief to which it may be justly entitled.
