Garnishment is a method of seizing assets of a [[judgment-debtor]], which are in the hands of a third party.
For example, garnishment is used by a [[judgment-creditor]] to make a claim to moneys of a judgment-debtor in a bank.
As a remedy, it is considered ''extremely'' harsh. Some states, by constitutional law, provide that garnishment of wages is strictly illegal. Texas provides as much by Article 49 of its Constitution.
