How can I get the property I was awarded in a judgement?

Asked almost 3 years ago - Victoria, TX

I was awarded a horses trailor in a judgement, and it was ordered to be returned, but this person is making it difficult. I'm still paying the bank for this property, which is why I don't want to file a "writ of attachment" Can I just go to the police and claim theft? P.D. told me it was a civil matter and that I would have to file a "writ of attach". What can I do to enforce and get property back?

A writ of attachment is the usual way to get property back. However, you can file a show cause motion with the court which will force the debtor to come to court and show why he should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the order. He could be forced to pay your attorney fees or fined or jailed.
