garnishment order, the garnishee must present the claim or defense at the hearing; and
(5) that the garnishee has the option to either:
(A) answer the interrogatories in writing on or before the date specified, or
(B) appear in court and answer the interrogatories in person.
(c) Motion for Proceedings Supplemental. A motion for proceedings supplemental
must be served on the garnishee when the garnishee is served with the interrogatories and
the order to answer them.
