Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start for Individuals and Families
Facing overwhelming debt? Chapter 7 bankruptcy could be your best option for wiping the slate clean
What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 is designed to discharge most unsecured debts, like credit card balances and medical bills, allowing you to make a clean break from overwhelming financial obligations. It’s a legal lifeline for those facing insurmountable debt with no clear way out.
How Chapter 7 Works: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Filing the Petition: This initiates your bankruptcy case, immediately stopping creditor harassment and lawsuits.
- 341 Meeting: You’ll meet with your creditors and trustee to go over your financial situation. Don’t worry, we’ll prepare you for everything.
- Debt Discharge: Once the process is complete, most of your unsecured debts will be eliminated, giving you a fresh start.
Key Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
- Discharge Most Unsecured Debts: Say goodbye to credit card bills, medical debt, and more.
- Immediate Relief from Harassment: Creditors must cease collection efforts the moment you file.
- Keep Your Home and Car: With Texas homestead exemptions and personal property protections, you may not lose key assets.
Think Chapter 7 might be right for you? Explore how this process could provide the fresh start you need. Contact Nick Davis Law today at (936) 262-7474 for trusted guidance.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: A New Beginning for Businesses and High-Income Individuals
Is your business struggling under the weight of debt? Chapter 11 could be the restructuring you need to survive and thrive
What is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 11 is a reorganization bankruptcy that allows businesses—and sometimes individuals with significant debt—to restructure and pay off creditors over time while continuing to operate. Unlike Chapter 7, which wipes out debts, Chapter 11 lets you keep your business and assets, but with a manageable repayment plan.
Chapter 11 for Businesses: Restructure, Don’t Shut Down
- Business Operations Continue: With Chapter 11, your business can stay operational while reorganizing its debt.
- Debtor-in-Possession Financing: This special financing option allows businesses to obtain loans during bankruptcy to stay afloat.
- Restructuring for Success: Develop a feasible repayment plan that protects your business, employees, and vendors.
Chapter 11 for Individuals: Protecting Personal Assets
For individuals with significant assets or income, Chapter 11 offers more flexibility than other forms of bankruptcy. You’ll retain control of your assets while working on a court-approved plan to satisfy your debts over time.
Need to protect your business or high-value assets? Let Nick Davis Law show you how Chapter 11 can provide a second chance for success. Call us today at (936) 262-7474.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 11?
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy primarily for individuals looking to discharge unsecured debts, while Chapter 11 is a reorganization bankruptcy, usually for businesses or high-income individuals, allowing them to restructure debt and retain assets.
Can bankruptcy stop creditor harassment?
Yes. Once you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay immediately halts all collection efforts, including phone calls, lawsuits, and wage garnishments.
How long does the bankruptcy process take?
Chapter 7 cases typically take 3 to 6 months, while Chapter 11 cases can last several months to a few years depending on the complexity of the restructuring.
Can bankruptcy help with my tax debts?
Some tax debts can be discharged, but it depends on specific factors. We will analyze your situation in detail to determine how bankruptcy can best help you with tax obligations.
Will I lose my home or car in bankruptcy?
In most cases, Texas law protects homes through the homestead exemption and personal property like cars under state exemptions, allowing you to retain them.
Will filing for bankruptcy ruin my credit forever?
No, filing for bankruptcy will impact your credit score, but it won’t ruin your credit forever. Most individuals who file for bankruptcy start rebuilding their credit within a year of receiving a discharge. Nick Davis Law can guide you through post-bankruptcy financial management strategies to help you recover and improve your credit over time.
Do I have to go to court when I file for bankruptcy?
In most bankruptcy cases, you’ll be required to attend a meeting of creditors (341 meeting), where the bankruptcy trustee will ask questions about your financial situation. However, this is not a courtroom hearing and now is primarily conducted only by Zoom. For Chapter 11 cases, court appearances may be necessary for plan confirmations or hearings. Nick Davis Law will prepare and represent you at every step to ensure you’re fully informed and protected.
Can I include all of my debts in a bankruptcy filing?
Not all debts are eligible for discharge in bankruptcy. While unsecured debts like credit card balances and medical bills are typically dischargeable, other debts—such as student loans, child support, alimony, and certain tax debts—may not be. We will thoroughly review your debt portfolio to help you understand which debts can be discharged.
Can I keep my business open if I file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy?
Yes, in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, many businesses are able to remain operational while they reorganize their debts. Chapter 11 allows you to create a plan to restructure and pay down debts without closing your business. We help you navigate the complexities of Chapter 11 to ensure your business can survive and emerge stronger.
How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy?
The cost of filing for bankruptcy includes court filing fees and attorney fees, which vary depending on the complexity of your case. Chapter 7 cases generally costs significantly less and at our office is offered for flat fees due to their quicker resolution, while Chapter 11 cases tend to be more expensive, with hourly charges, due to their extended duration and complexity. At Nick Davis Law, we provide transparent pricing and work with you to create an affordable payment plan based on your needs.
