You cannot garnish wages in Texas except for child support.
Texas is a very debtor oriented state. They could have a $500k home and the creditor cannot touch it (homestead).

I'd like to inquire how civil judgements are paid in Texas?
I can't take your income, without your consent? I can't liquidate a home?
Any other property available? Or do I just assume the check is in the mail?

I have no idea if the amount of money is a legitimate amount of money for the defamation in this case but a jury thought so.
This was done by a pretty well known blogger and caused her to lose clients and ultimately her business. So I think it's legitimate.

It is hard to collect a judgment from a Texas debtor. Texas has broad exemptions from levy. If they have more than one house, you may be able to collect. In many cases, creditors look for boats and airplanes. You can garnish a bank account.
It is possible that these debtors have liability insurance.
A good Texas lawyer can make most people judgment proof.

That's jacked up. I get it with frivolous mundane nonsense; however this seems legit.
If you can withhold civil payment on a court ordered judgment, how should these matters be handled?

What a lame lawsuit. If somebody complains about your services on Facebook than that's life.

You obviously have never owned or ran a business. A smear campaign on social media can destroy a company. The jury in this case thought as such.

The person went on a local news outlet and defamed this photographer. This goes way beyond a little Facebook rant.
I wonder if the local news outlet should take some responsibility in this.

This wasn't about the quality of the photographers work. It was over a wedding album cover.
The photographers standard package came with a standard leather album cover which was included in the price of the original package.
The couple chose an upgraded album cover, a photocover, which would have cost an additional $125.
The couple decided they weren't going to pay and wanted the photo cover for free. When told they would not get the upgraded cover for free the couple started a smear campaign suggesting that the photographer was holding their pictures hostage unless they paid 125 for an album cover.
To the layman having to pay 125 for an album cover after already paying for the wedding photography package seems ridiculous and the thing took off like wildfire across social media.
What the couple failed to disclose in their smear campaign is they could have opted for the already included leather cover and received their album immediately. Instead they fabricated a story that was completely false.
Instead they lied on social media, TV and print media outlets and the photgraphers business was destroyed.
At one point the photographer even offered the photo cover for free, but it was already too late and the smear campaign had already taken off.
This lady was a high volume wedding and portrait studio who grossed over 500k in revenue every year. This was not some mom with a camera.

She was booking 75+ events a year before the slanderous accusations. She's down to 1-2. That was 3 years ago. At $5,000/event that's $375k she's already out.
This calculation is for ONE year...375,000 X the 3 years since they went retard is 1,125,000....So the 1.08 million seems pretty spot on.
frick the Moldovans....

Did you even read the things that have been posted? Did you pay ANY attention to the things that the defendants did? It went well past complaints on FB.
You are an idiot and would probably side with the wedding couple. People like you deserve to root for UF.

It's a terrible lawsuit and dangerous verdict. Hopefully the couple can get it thrown out

There is no way you actually believe this if you would have read the article and through the thread to get a picture of what happened here. I never understand why people will post stupid shite like this when just a little reading would tell them that they are about to make an ignorant statement.

Our wedding photographer was really, really good, but she kind of hid in the fine print that you have to buy each individual print afterwards. My in-laws are older (70+) and didn’t see this in the contract when they signed it. The prints were like $40 at the cheapest for a small one and up to $200+ for the really big ones. This was on top of the $7k the photographer cost. I thought this was ludicrous and absolutely regret not reviewing the contract first, but the mother-in-law insisted they had it handled.
Anyways, I called the lady and reasoned with her and she gave us all a disc with all the digital prints on them, in exchange we agreed to order 2 large prints in frames from her.
Moral of the story is you don’t need to act like a child on social media to get what you want.

This is a stupid response to this issue. Why don't you read more and post less.
