Texas Collections Attorneys

The Sartin Law Firm, P.C. represents businesses and individuals from across the entire State of Texas whom have experienced debt collection issues and are owed money on one or more debts. Our approach to debt collection is to maximize recovery for the client, while minimizing the cost to obtain that recovery.  We have found that demand letters and correspondence from our law firm  are much more effective in getting people to pay their debts than  other methods available to our clients.  Many people just will not pay without the involvement of an attorney.  For this reason, we divide our collections work into two separate parts:  non-judicial collection, and judicial collection.  Non-judicial debt collection is generally required by law in the State of Texas prior to undertaking judicial collections on the debt.

We perform non-judicial collection work under one of these corresponding one time fixed fee payment options: 

Please call our firm for a flat fee quote on debts of an amount more than $40,000.

For this sum, we undertake non-judicial collections work including but not limited to sending a series of attorney-reviewed collection letters, and attempting to contact the owing party to work out a payment arrangement in full for our client.  We draft all necessary documents involved.  We demand your attorneys' fees back from the owing party in most cases.  If the initial activity is unsuccessful in resolving the unpaid debt, we will review the account to determine if circumstances warrant additional non-judicial activity, or the filing of a lawsuit against the party.  At that time we will consult with you to determine whether you wish to pursue a judicial collection of the debt.

We belive this this is the most cost-effective method of non-judicial collections for the client.  Many collections cases are resolved in this manner without having the expense of a lawsuit, saving our clients thousands of dollars in the process.

In the event that non-judicial methods are not successful, our firm then may undertake judicial collection in some circumstances where it is cost-effective for the client for us to do so.  Judicial methods commonly include pre-judgment attachments, garnishment,  and the filing of a collections lawsuit.  Our judicial collection work is separate from our non-judicial work, and covered by a different agreement and fee with our client where the client chooses to have us perform these services.

Our knowledge of Texas collection laws, including the Texas Debt Collections Act, the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act (DTPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Texas Finance Code, the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and the UEFJA, amongst others, allows us to assist clients in these areas.

Further, we have excellent resources which allow us to efficiently locate a debtor (whether a business or individual), as well as locate their assets and bank accounts which may be used for collection purposes.  These resources include Accurint, skip tracers,  credit bureaus, public records databases, and other paid information sources.

If you have a debt collection issue with which you need assistance, please contact us at 214-800-2388 or email Paul Sartin at psartin@sartinlaw.com for a free consultation about what we can do to assist you to collect on the money owed to you.
