Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
A writ of original attachment is available to a plaintiff in a suit if:
(1) the defendant is justly indebted to the plaintiff;
(2) the attachment is not sought for the purpose of injuring or harassing the defendant;
(3) the plaintiff will probably lose his debt unless the writ of attachment is issued; and
(4) specific grounds for the writ exist under Section 61.002.
