This Notice of Filing Foreign Judgment should be filed after a foreign judgment is filed under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 35.001–.007, although some practitioners file it at the time the judgment is filed. Typically, the affidavit (form 14-12 in this chapter), along with a properly authenticated foreign judgment and this notice of filing, is mailed by certified and first-class to the judgment debtor at the judgment debtor’s last known address, as stated in the affidavit. However, copies of the affidavit and judgment are not required to be mailed with the notice. See the related discussion at section 14.34:2 in this chapter.
