In Re Law Office of Ruben Franco Jr. — Defective Garnishment Writ Naming Garnishee as Judgment Debtor Does Not Compel Disclosure of Debtor’s Funds
The Texas Court of Appeals, Ninth District, denied mandamus relief to a judgment creditor whose garnishment writ incorrectly named the garnishee bank as the judgment debtor, holding that a writ of garnishment must strictly comply with the statute and that a garnishee is not obligated to disclose the debtor’s funds when the debtor is not identified in the writ—even if the garnishee has actual knowledge of the error from the application served alongside the writ.
