Answer:
The following is a TX statute:
§ 34.001. NO EXECUTION ON DORMANT JUDGMENT. (a) If a writ
of execution is not issued within 10 years after the rendition of a
judgment of a court of record or a justice court, the judgment is
dormant and execution may not be issued on the judgment unless it is
revived.
(b) If a writ of execution is issued within 10 years after
rendition of a judgment but a second writ is not issued within 10
years after issuance of the first writ, the judgment becomes
dormant. A second writ may be issued at any time within 10 years
after issuance of the first writ.
