Personal Bankruptcy in Montgomery County and the Southern District of Texas is an important procedure. In order to obtain the discharge that is one of the most important goals of going through bankruptcy in Montgomery County, you must fulfill your obligations to the Bankruptcy Court. If you do not fulfill your obligations to the Court, your case may be dismissed or some of your debts may not be discharged.

This is Part 5 of my series reviewing your obligations as a bankruptcy filer in Montgomery County and the Southern District of Texas. In addition to the obligations we previously discussed, your obligations include:

1. You are required to file and complete your statement as to your intention concerning secured consumer debt. The Trustee will assume that you have done so within the time provided unless you advise the Trustee in writing to the contrary, and state your plans to remedy any default.
2. Pursuant to the rules regarding electronic filing, you are required to provide the Trustee at least ten (10) days prior to your scheduled creditors meeting, with a copy of your schedules, statement of financial affairs, means test form, certificate of credit counseling, two years of tax returns, the bank statements for the two months prior to filing including the month of filing and proof of income for the 60 days prior to filing. Failure to provide this information within ten (10) days in advance of the First Meeting of Creditors will cause your meeting to be reset. Additionally, if you fail to provide these documents it could result in dismissal of your case.
