OPINION

VIGIL, Judge.

{1} As a result of a settlement, a judgment was entered in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendants in Texas. Plaintiff domesticated the judgment in New Mexico pursuant to the Foreign Judgments Act (the Act), NMSA 1978, Sections 39-4A-1 to -6 (1989, as amended through 1994), and obtained a writ of execution to satisfy the judgment from property owned by one of the defendants. The district court granted Defendants’ motion to quash the writ of execution on grounds that the judgment did not lie against that defendant. Plaintiff appeals, and we reverse.
