Are homestead properties exempt from deficiency judgment  in Texas?

Under Texas homestead protection, homeowners can protect their home from unsecured creditors such as credit card debt, but not secured creditors such as mortgage lienholders.  Lenders who have financed the purchase, repair, or improvement of a home are exempt from homestead protection, which means that if you default on secured loans, your home is not protected from judgments.
