Can a company in MI collect on a Florida resident on a judgement in TX?

I have a court ordered judgement in Texas from 2001 against me. I was living in Michigan at the time and could not afford to fight it so the other party won. I did not pay it then a few years later I was contacted by a company in Michigan demanding the money. They said that the person from TX had hired them. I was not working and agreed to paying 50 dollars a week. I did this for about 2 years then when I was moving to Florida I wrote a letter asking for a payoff. They never responed so I moved and stopped paying them too. Now, about 3 years later, I get a letter from the second company requesting the payments to begin again or they will take action. I have never heard from the person from TX nor has the company from MI ever told me that the payments are going to anyone. I have never gotten a statement from them. Can a company in MI collect on a Florida resident on a judgement in TX?

They have to go back through the court where you reside normally. And in many cases they will not do so due to the expense and time etc.

So, they, being Michigan "lawyers" AKA debt collectors, would have to come to Florida, hire a lawyer here to collect on a judgement from TX? or the TX judgement person would need to come here now?

Does a judgement have to be placed in the city/state where you live?
