Trucking & freight collections · Corpus Christi, TX
Owed money on a trucking & freight account in Corpus Christi? We are a commercial debt collector — business-to-business accounts only — and we chase the unpaid invoice nobody at Corpus Christi wants to talk about, across the Gulf Coast with research, in-person contact, and enforcement through licensed collection attorneys. No recovery, no fee.
Trucking & freight is a real part of the Corpus Christi economy, and wherever there is that much activity there is non-payment. We know how trucking & freight business gets done in the Gulf Coast — truck, trucks, trucker, the paperwork that proves a debt, and the pressure points that get a non-paying Corpus Christi business to the table. When a customer has simply stopped paying, that is a commercial collection problem, not an accounting one.
When a freight broker stops paying, the surety bond is the first question. An FMCSA-licensed property broker or freight forwarder must maintain $75,000 of financial security under 49 U.S.C. § 13906 — but that is a single bond shared pro rata among everyone who claims against it, not a guaranteed payout per carrier, and it runs out. Speed matters more here than almost anywhere else, and so does knowing whether the entity on the rate confirmation is the one that actually holds the authority.
A suit on a Corpus Christi account is filed in Nueces County, with the Nueces County District Clerk. Nueces County runs 8 district courts hearing civil matters and 5 statutory county courts at law. Corpus Christi is not contained by one county. The city limits reach into Aransas, Kleberg and San Patricio Counties as well, so the county on a debtor's letterhead is not always the county a judgment against them should be abstracted in. Most commercial accounts resolve long before any of that, and we are a collection agency rather than a law firm — but knowing where the account would land is part of deciding whether pursuing it is worth your money.
Corpus Christi is roughly a 5.8-hour drive from Dallas. We still go — it just means a field visit is planned rather than spontaneous, and we tell you before we spend a day on one.
General information for commercial creditors, not legal advice. Deadlines turn on facts we have not seen — confirm specifics with qualified counsel before relying on any of it.

FAQ
Yes. We pursue trucking & freight accounts throughout Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast, and nationwide through a network of licensed collection attorneys. There is no upfront cost — we work on contingency, and the fee is agreed before you place anything.
Stop calling and start documenting. Pull the invoices, the contract or purchase order, proof of delivery or acceptance, and the exact legal entity name of the debtor — not the trade name. Then check which deadline governs the account, because the leverage in this trade runs on a short clock. Silence usually means the debtor has decided you are not a priority, which is a different problem from inability to pay and is solved differently.
In Nueces County, with the Nueces County District Clerk. Which court depends on the amount and the relief sought, and that is the filing attorney's decision. Below the district and county courts, a justice court anywhere in Texas handles claims up to $20,000 (Tex. Gov't Code § 27.031) — the same ceiling in all 254 counties, not a local rule.
As soon as it is clearly past due rather than merely late. Commercial debt gets harder to collect as it ages — the trail goes cold, people leave, and entities dissolve. The expensive mistake is almost never acting too early.
No. We take commercial accounts only — money one business owes another. That is why the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which governs consumer debt, generally does not reach this work. If the person who owes you is an individual consumer, we are not the right agency and we will tell you so.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — no retainer, no monthly minimum, and a fee charged only against funds actually recovered. The fee is agreed before you place anything.
