Apostolic Church v. American Honda Motor Company

This appeal involves the validity of two judicial liens. In a bench trial, the trial court rendered judgment in favor of the Appellee judgment creditor, American Honda Motor Company, Inc., ruling that it owned valid judgment liens upon two tracts of land which had been conveyed by gift deeds from the judgment debtor, Bill G. Hayden and wife ("Haydens"), to Appellant, the Apostolic Church. Appellant contends that the trial court erred, because the judgment liens had not been properly perfected, and also because the liens had been canceled by the Haydens subsequent discharge in bankruptcy. We do not agree; we will affirm the trial courts judgment, but deny Appellees counterpoint.
