Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Dallas?
Yes. Dallas residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Texas judge reviews every sale under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 141.001 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Dallas?
Your settlement checks arrive on schedule. Life in Dallas County rarely does. A transmission gives out, a hospital bill lands, a lease ends just as a chance to buy a home appears. The pattern is consistent: the need is current, the money is future. Common reasons Dallas payees sell some of their payments include:
- Paying off high-interest credit cards or personal loans
- Covering medical or dental work that cannot wait
- Making a down payment on a house
- Funding a vehicle, education, or a small business
Texas governs every one of these sales through Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 141.001 et seq. A district judge must approve the transfer, all interested parties get 20 days advance notice, independent professional advice is required before the hearing, and the full timeline averages about 60 days.
Your role stays simple: review a quote with the discount rate disclosed in writing, sign by DocuSign or notary at no charge, and attend one short hearing. The transaction is funded and completed by our partner Genex Capital after court approval. The step-by-step detail is at how it works.
Simple, Transparent Process
Your written quote spells out exactly which payments you are selling, the purchase price, and the discount rate. No surprises at any step, and you owe nothing if the court does not approve.

Selling Structured Settlements in Dallas - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement payments in Dallas?
Three steps on your side. Request a free quote, which comes with the discount rate disclosed in writing. Sign the agreement by DocuSign or with a notary, at no charge. Then let the partner legal team file the petition with the Dallas County Civil District Courts. Once the judge signs the approval order, funding arrives in about 3 business days.
How long does court approval take in Texas?
About 60 days is the working average from signed agreement to approval. Texas requires 20 days advance notice to every interested party before the hearing, and Dallas County docket scheduling accounts for most of the rest of the wait. Funding follows roughly 3 business days after the order is entered.
Where will my Dallas hearing be held?
At the George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building, 600 Commerce St in downtown Dallas, where the Dallas County Civil District Courts sit. Plan for a short appearance. Judges generally want to hear, in your own words, why the sale makes sense and confirm you understand the discount rate and the net amount you will receive.
Is the lump sum from selling my settlement taxable in Texas?
Payments from a personal injury settlement are generally tax-free under federal law, and courts have held that this character carries through when the payments are converted to a lump sum. Texas also has no state income tax. Every situation differs, though, so confirm the treatment of your specific settlement with a CPA before you sell.
