Honor a Utah Garnishment in Texas? Yes/No? What to do?

Our company is a Texas corporation with our principal place of business in Texas. Our company has no offices or contacts with the State of Utah. Today, I received a garnishment issued by a District Court in the State of Utah requesting that we garnish one of our employees (a former Utah resident) current wages for personal services to satisfy the underlying judgment for Utah state income taxes. It is my understanding that the Texas Constitution prohibits the granishment of wages. My initial reaction is that we do not have to honor the garnishment? Any thoughts, comments, opinions or direction concerning this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
