Jerry Jones is requesting a "garnishment" to collect Tony Romo's overdue debt. This legal action involves asking the court to order First National Bank of Dallas to redirect a portion of Romo's funds held in the account to satisfy the debt.

Jerry Jones is making a request for a "Garnishment." Garnishment is a legal process that allows a creditor (in this case, Jerry Jones) to collect a debt owed by a debtor (Tony Romo) by obtaining a court order to direct a third party, such as First National Bank of Dallas, to redirect a portion of the debtor's funds, held in the bank account, to the creditor.

In this scenario, Jerry Jones is seeking the court's intervention to collect the debt directly from Tony Romo's bank account through a garnishment order against the bank.
