How Much Does Bankruptcy Cost in Texas?

Bankruptcy cost in Texas has three parts: the federal court filing fee, which is set nationally by the Judicial Conference and is the same in every Texas bankruptcy district; the required credit counseling and debtor education courses from approved providers; and attorney's fees, which are typically a flat fee. Chapter 7 attorney fees are generally paid before filing, while Chapter 13 fees are usually paid largely through the court-approved plan — which is why Chapter 13 often requires less money up front despite costing more overall.
