O.C.G.A. 18-4-116 (2010)
18-4-116. Effect of and proceedings upon filing of traverse by defendant

(a) In a continuing garnishment proceeding, upon the filing of a traverse by defendant pursuant to Code Section 18-4-93, no further summons of garnishment may issue nor may any money delivered to the court as subject to garnishment be disbursed until the hearing is held upon defendant's traverse. The filing of a traverse by the defendant does not relieve the garnishee of the duties of filing an answer, of withholding property, money, or other effects subject to continuing garnishment or of delivering to the court any property, money, or other effects subject to continuing garnishment.

(b) Nothing in this Code section shall affect the right of the defendant to file bond under this chapter.
