Military Members Who are Facing Bankruptcy in Texas Have Legal Protections

There is no doubt that the amazing men and women who serve in the United States military are the finest our country has to offer.  They have made the choice to risk their lives to protect each one of us and we can never repay them enough.  The commitment that the members of our armed forces are asked to give has become even more significant in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks.  We now have service members who are sent to the other side of the world for a year or more at a time, only to return home for a few months and then do it all over again.  With many of our military troops away in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other bases around the globe, military families are left at home struggling to pay the bills in the midst of this difficult economic recession.  The unfortunate result is that federal bankruptcy filings by members of the military are on the rise, creating additional stress in already strained relationships.
