Texas is known as a debtor state but an attorney can do several things for their clients in order to insure that payment is received.
Public records can be of assistance in determining if an outstanding account is collectible.
A demand letter is written demanding the amount due with the attached invoices from the client. The demand letter should also mention that if a suit is filed you will be attempting to recover additional and necessary attorneys' fees. It is also necessary to comply with all sections of the Federal Fair Debt and Practice Act. The demand letter should be sent certified mail return receipt requested and regular mail. After 30 days have elapsed, the client must decide whether or not to continue with the suit.
