An Abstract of Judgment is when you ask the court clerk to resume the status of a case, to be used in another court proceeding, sometimes for sentencing purposes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_of_judgment

An abstract of judgment is a clerical document containing a summary of court proceedings which may be useful though not conclusive in proving a prior conviction for the purposes of enhancement.


In some states, such as Texas, an abstract of judgment is a specific type of document provided either by the court clerk or by an attorney which is used to prove that a judgment has been rendered. The abstract may then be filed in another jurisdiction, where it constitutes notice of a "judgment lien" on the debtor's real property, thereby preventing the transfer of that property until the judgment has been paid.
