Most judgment liens in Texas are not applicable to homestead property, per Sec. 41.001 of the Texas Property Code. There are exceptions to this rule under subsection (b) for items such as purchase money liens, taxes, mechanics and materialman’s liens, homeowner’s association liens, etc.
If you have a lien against the person and s/he sells the homestead, the proceeds from such sale are not subject to seizure for up to six months, per subsection (c) of the statute.
