Researchers at WalletHub looked to highlight where people are having the most trouble paying their debts (for some reason) after analyzing the percentage of individual tradelines and delinquent loan balances through proprietary user data in all 50 states.
Their findings led them to rank Texas 10th for most financially delinquent. Naturally, reading this report is enough to make people feel a type of way.

I’m even willing to argue Texans aren’t delinquent, we’re just broke so no need for the attacks.
Thankfully, Texas wasn’t like Mississippi, which ranked most delinquent on debt payments. Jokes aside, KPRC 2 has shared several resources and links people can turn to so they can squash their debt and increase their credit scores.
