The judge issued a Writ of Execution pursuant to Rule 632 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, which would have improperly allowed for the execution on personal property in satisfaction of a default judgment issued out of small claims court. As a result, the judgment debtor was arrested for following the advice of counsel and not allowing the constable to execute an unlawful Writ.
