Wholesale & distribution collections · Fort Worth, TX
Owed money on a wholesale & distribution account in Fort Worth? We are a commercial debt collector — business-to-business accounts only — and we chase the unpaid invoice nobody at Fort Worth wants to talk about, across North Texas with research, in-person contact, and enforcement through licensed collection attorneys. No recovery, no fee.
Fort Worth businesses across North Texas run up unpaid wholesale & distribution invoices like everywhere else, and many creditors write them off rather than chase them across the state. We do not. We pursue wholesale & distribution accounts in Fort Worth with the same work we bring to the major metros: research first, then contact, then enforcement through counsel. An unpaid invoice does not become uncollectible just because the customer stopped paying and stopped calling back.
A seller who discovers the buyer was insolvent when it took delivery on credit may demand the goods back — but the written demand is due within ten days of receipt (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 2.702), and the right is subordinate to a good-faith purchaser. After that window the claim is an ordinary one for the price. Distribution accounts also tend to be clean sworn-account material, because a systematic record of an open account is prima facie proof under Tex. R. Civ. P. 185 in a way a one-off sale is not.
A suit on a Fort Worth account is filed in Tarrant County, with the Tarrant County District Clerk. Tarrant County runs 10 district courts hearing civil matters and 3 statutory county courts at law. Its courts at law carry their own civil reach, set by the county's own statute rather than the general rule: Exceeds $500 and does not exceed $200,000, excluding mandatory damages and penalties, attorney’s fees, interest, and costs (Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.2222(b)(1)). Fort Worth is not contained by one county. The city limits reach into Denton, Johnson, Parker and Wise 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.
Fort Worth is about 0.6 hours from our Dallas office, so putting someone at a debtor's place of business is a normal part of working the account.

Your leverage
Not every past-due customer should be torched. We collect professionally so you can preserve the relationships that still have value — and escalate hard on the ones that don't.
Open-account terms, interest provisions, and personal guarantees in your paperwork give us tools most distributors never enforce. We use them.
FAQ
Yes. We pursue wholesale & distribution accounts throughout Fort Worth and North Texas, 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 Tarrant County, with the Tarrant 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.
Tell us what you're owed and we'll tell you exactly how we'd go after it. The review is free, and you pay nothing unless we collect.
