Experts in National Bankruptcy Services Dallas TX concur that bankruptcy filing is considered a matter of personal record. So, all such on-confidential information is published in dailies. However, many times, a person filing for bankruptcy doesn’t want the people around him/ her to know about the precarious financial situation the applicant is in.

Attorneys specialising in bankruptcy Dallas TX recommend not being troubled by this information. It is true that all information (except for confidential data like Social security number) is public record. So anyone with the means can definitely access this information. However, the ‘means’ is typically out of reach of common public.

Once the person commences the process for filing for bankruptcy, the petition and schedules are made a record of the court. The court clerk then uploads this to the Pacer System (PACER = Public Access to Court Electronic Records). A verified official with a password can access PACER, to search the system by various parameters like name to bring up filing records for bankruptcy in Dallas TX.

Thus, if someone doesn’t have a password, the person trying to access PACER won’t be able to do so. Also, with everyone busy with their own lives, it will be a far-fetched thought that someone would go the lengths to warrant a password, apply for it, and eventually receive it, just so that they can access a person’s bankruptcy filing record.

So it is unlikely that someone would stumble upon a person’s bankruptcy filing. In order to access such data, their curiosity levels have to be sky high. They should be motivated enough to carry out the procedures needed to obtain the password to access PACER. Other than law enforcement officials and attorneys, not many would have such motivation. Hence, it can be safely said that there is very little chance that a petitioner’s social circle would come to know about the bankruptcy filing done in a court.

With this information, it becomes clear that not many people would have the resources or the inclination to view the public record information pertaining to the filing of bankruptcy in Dallas TX. Hence filing for the same as per specific circumstances need not be a social stigma that one may be afraid of.
