A judgment is not self-executing. The winner of a judgment must still collect assets from the losing party. Some parties are [[judgment-proof]]: that is, they have no money which a judgment can recover. Alternately, a wily "[[judgment-debtor]]" may hide assets from execution to ''appear'' judgment proof.

Many states provide a method of discovery, called "post-judgment discovery," to ensure that judgment-debtors cannot cheat justice. Texas provides this through Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 621a.
