Sec. 34.063. IMPROPER ENDORSEMENT OF WRIT. (a) If an officer receives more than one writ of execution on the same day against the same person and fails to number them as received or if an officer falsely endorses a writ of execution, the officer and the officer's sureties are liable to the plaintiff in execution only for actual damages suffered by the plaintiff because of the failure or false endorsement. (b) The plaintiff in execution has the burden to prove: (1) the officer failed to properly number or endorse the writ of execution; (2) the officer's failure precluded the levy of executable property owned by the judgment debtor; (3) the executable property owned by the judgment debtor was not exempt from execution or levy; and (4) the plaintiff in execution suffered actual damages.
