US companies announced 85,979 job cuts in August 2025, 66 percent more than in the same month the previous year. Texas alone saw 2,650 layoffs in a month, Halliburton cutting 20–40% of its workforce, and ConocoPhillips announcing it would lay off 3,250 employees by year’s end. This latest cycle of layoffs is only one of the early indications of the financial vulnerability in the energy industry and could set off a wave of bankruptcy filings surge throughout the state.
When the steady income vanishes, people may become delinquent on mortgages, loans, credit card bills, or other debts. In such cases, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 becomes the most practical solution for individuals and joint debtors struggling to stay afloat.
