What happens when I sue for past rent

What is the name of your state? Texas
I recently evicted someone from my house that I was renting and I took them to court. They owed me 4 months of rent. I won the case and now I need to sue them for the money. I will obviously win, but the question is when will I ever get my money that I am owed? Can I have her paycheck garnished?

This link is how a tenant may collect a judgment, but you'll get the idea.
