Texas Judges Explore State Law on Liens and Homestead Exemptions
Much state law regarding liens and property rights emerges from the Bankruptcy Courts because they are frequently the first to confront novel issues. Two recent opinions from the Western District of Texas bankruptcy judges confirm this trend. In one case, Judge Tony Davis found that an option to acquire a leased homestead could be claimed as exempt, No. 14-11006, James Wayne See (Bankr. W.D.

No. 15-6001 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 7/2/15).
