United States Bankruptcy Court: Northern District of Texas Date case filed for chapter: 13 8/28/23

Case number: 23−42530−mxm13

Official Form 309I

Notice of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case 10/20

For the debtors listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has

been entered.

This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about

the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully.

The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts

from the debtors, the debtors' property, and certain codebtors. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, garnish wages, assert a

deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtors. Creditors cannot demand repayment from debtors by mail, phone, or

otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Under certain circumstances, the stay

may be limited to 30 days or not exist at all, although debtors can ask the court to extend or impose a stay.

Confirmation of a chapter 13 plan may result in a discharge. Creditors who assert that the debtors are not entitled to a discharge under 11 U.S.C. §

1328(f) must file a motion objecting to discharge in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice. Creditors who want to have

their debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office by the same deadline. (See line 13 below for more

information.)

To protect your rights, consult an attorney. All documents filed in the case may be inspected at the bankruptcy clerk's office at the address listed below or

through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records at https://pacer.uscourts.gov).

The staff of the bankruptcy clerk's office cannot give legal advice.

To help creditors correctly identify debtors, debtors submit full Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification

Numbers, which may appear on a version of this notice. However, the full numbers must not appear on any document

filed with the court.

Do not file this notice with any proof of claim or other filing in the case. Do not include more than the last four digits of

a Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in any document, including attachments, that you file

with the court.

WILL BE HELD BY VIDEO CONFERENCE

FOR THE DALLAS AND FORT WORTH

DIVISIONS, THE EXACT TIME FOR THIS

MEETING WILL BE ASSIGNED BY THE

TRUSTEE (SEE BELOW)

For the Dallas and Fort Worth divisions:

The specific time for this meeting will be assigned by the trustee and will be sent to the attorney for the debtor, or, if

the debtor is pro se, will be sent to the debtor no later than the day before the 341 meeting. It will also be sent to

any other participant who notifies the trustee that he/she/it wishes to attend the meeting at least three (3) business

days prior to the date set for the meeting. See page 3 of this notice for more information.

8. Deadlines

The bankruptcy clerk's office must

receive these documents and any

required filing fee by the following

deadlines.

Deadline to file a complaint to challenge

dischargeability of certain debts:

Filing deadline: ____________

You must file:

• a motion if you assert that the debtors are not entitled to receive a discharge

 under U.S.C. § 1328(f), or

• a complaint if you want to have a particular debt excepted from discharge

 under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2) or (4).

Deadline for all creditors to file a proof of claim

(except governmental units):

Filing deadline: 11/6/23

Deadline for governmental units to file a proof of

claim:

Filing deadline: 2/24/24

Deadlines for filing proof of claim:

 A proof of claim is a signed statement describing a creditor's claim. A proof of claim form may be obtained at

www.uscourts.gov or any bankruptcy clerk's office.

If you do not file a proof of claim by the deadline, you might not be paid on your claim. To be paid, you must file a

proof of claim even if your claim is listed in the schedules that the debtor filed.

Secured creditors retain rights in their collateral regardless of whether they file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of

claim submits the creditor to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, with consequences a lawyer can explain. For

example, a secured creditor who files a proof of claim may surrender important nonmonetary rights, including the

right to a jury trial.

Deadline to object to exemptions:

The law permits debtors to keep certain property as exempt. If you

believe that the law does not authorize an exemption claimed, you

may file an objection.

Filing deadline: 30 days after the

conclusion of the

meeting of creditors

9. Filing of plan The debtor has not filed a plan as of this date. A copy of the plan and a notice of the hearing on confirmation will

be sent separately.

10. Creditors with a foreign

address

If you are a creditor receiving a notice mailed to a foreign address, you may file a motion asking the court to

extend the deadline in this notice. Consult an attorney familiar with United States bankruptcy law if you have any

questions about your rights in this case.

11. Filing a chapter 13

bankruptcy case

Chapter 13 allows an individual with regular income and debts below a specified amount to adjust debts

according to a plan. A plan is not effective unless the court confirms it. You may object to confirmation of the

plan and appear at the confirmation hearing. A copy of the plan, if not enclosed, will be sent to you later, and if

the confirmation hearing is not indicated on this notice, you will be sent notice of the confirmation hearing. The

debtor will remain in possession of the property and may continue to operate the business, if any, unless the

court orders otherwise.

12. Exempt property The law allows debtors to keep certain property as exempt. Fully exempt property will not be sold and distributed

to creditors, even if the case is converted to chapter 7. Debtors must file a list of property claimed as exempt.

You may inspect that list at the bankruptcy clerk's office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. If you believe

that the law does not authorize an exemption that debtors claimed, you may file an objection by the deadline.

13. Discharge of debts Confirmation of a chapter 13 plan may result in a discharge of debts, which may include all or part of a debt.

However, unless the court orders otherwise, the debts will not be discharged until all payments under the plan

are made. A discharge means that creditors may never try to collect the debt from the debtors personally except

as provided in the plan. If you want to have a particular debt excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. §

523(a)(2) or (4), you must file a complaint and pay the filing fee in the bankruptcy clerk's office by the deadline. If

you believe that the debtors are not entitled to a discharge of any of their debts under 11 U.S.C. § 1328(f), you

must file a motion. The bankruptcy clerk's office must receive the objection by the deadline to object to

exemptions in line 8.
