The total amount of all taxes due and assessed is a personal debt of the taxpayer to the state of New Mexico until paid and may be collected by civil action to that end commenced subject to the limitations in Section 7-1-19 NMSA 1978 by the secretary or attorney general in district court or in federal courts. Final judgments for taxes may be enforced in appropriate courts of other states by the secretary or the attorney general pursuant to agreement between the other state and this state or by attorneys or other agents in that state retained by the department or the attorney general. This remedy is in addition to any other remedy provided by law.
