It has held a Texas surety bond continuously for 14 years, and currently has an active $10,000 bond on file with the Texas Secretary of State (SoS File 20200139), meeting the Texas Finance Code Chapter 392 requirement for third-party debt collectors.

Each fact below links to where it comes from wherever a source is on record, with the date it was last checked where a check has run.

This is a law firm, not a collection agency. A law practice that regularly collects consumer debts is a debt collector under the federal FDCPA, and it can also file a collection lawsuit for a creditor, as the creditor's lawyer and in the creditor's name. That difference is why law firms are listed separately, on the collection law firms page, and never in the agency rankings.
