TURNOVER AND RECEIVER LOCAL RULE — JUSTICE COURTS OF TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS (EFFECTIVE: March 26, 2019). "In an attempt to have uniformity and save litigants time and expense resulting from hearings on Turnover and Receiver matters, the following guidelines will generally be followed by the Justice Courts on matters pertaining to Turnover and Receiver requests. The grant of an Order of Turnover and Appointment of a Receiver is within the sound discretion of the Court." The rule states that the scope of a turnover and receiver order is within the trial court's discretion, and that the court will make an effort to impose reasonable limits while preserving the right of a judgment creditor to reach property owned by the judgment debtor to satisfy the judgment. It is drawn from Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 31.002 ("Collection of Judgment Through Court Proceeding," the turnover statute) and, in part, from Chapter 64 ("Receivership"), together with receiver practices and case law, and addresses the general scope of turnover and receiver orders and the appointment and duties of receivers across a 24-page rule.
