Additional exemptions cover $7,500 in vehicle equity, unlimited household furniture, $4,000 in clothing, $10,000 in trade tools, and $2,000 in firearms. Retirement accounts are fully exempt. Wages from the prior 90 days are 75% protected. Livestock exemptions under Title 31 include two horses, ten hogs, twenty sheep, and one hundred chickens with feed for a year, which can matter for Caddo County agricultural filers.
