Wages cannot be garnished in TX, but they can garnish bank accounts and sieze non-exempt property.

California:
704.070. (a) As used in this section:
(1) "Earnings withholding order" means an earnings withholding
order under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 706.010) (Wage
Garnishment Law).
(2) "Paid earnings" means earnings as defined in Section 706.011
that were paid to the employee during the 30-day period ending on the
date of the levy. For the purposes of this paragraph, where
earnings that have been paid to the employee are sought to be
subjected to the enforcement of a money judgment other than by a
levy, the date of levy is deemed to be the date the earnings were
otherwise subjected to the enforcement of the judgment.
(3) "Earnings assignment order for support" means an earnings
assignment order for support as defined in Section 706.011.
(b) Paid earnings that can be traced into deposit accounts or in
the form of cash or its equivalent as provided in Section 703.080 are
exempt in the following amounts:
(1) All of the paid earnings are exempt if prior to payment to the
employee they were subject to an earnings withholding order or an
earnings assignment order for support.
(2) Seventy-five percent of the paid earnings that are levied upon
or otherwise sought to be subjected to the enforcement of a money
judgment are exempt if prior to payment to the employee they were not
subject to an earnings withholding order or an earnings assignment
order for support.

So, they can garnish 25% of your net earnings.
