Business collections · Garland, TX
Owed money by a Garland business? When one business won't pay another, the consumer-collection rules don't apply — and that works in your favor. Our business collections practice recovers B2B and commercial debt with research, in-person pressure, and legal enforcement, entirely on contingency.
Where a Garland account gets resolved
Garland sits in Dallas County, with city limits extending into Collin, and Rockwall. A suit on a Garland account is filed with the Dallas County District Clerk. The county seat is Dallas, so that is where the courthouse is.
Dallas County has 13 district courts hearing civil matters and 5 statutory county courts at law. In Dallas County the courts at law carry their own civil jurisdictional reach: No dollar ceiling — a Dallas County court at law has concurrent jurisdiction with the district court in civil cases regardless of the amount in controversy (Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.0592(a)).
Below that, a justice court anywhere in Texas handles claims up to $20,000, exclusive of interest (Tex. Gov't Code § 27.031(a)(1)) — the same ceiling in all 254 counties, not a local rule.
We are a collection agency, not a law firm — we do not file suit ourselves. Most commercial accounts resolve before anyone goes to a courthouse. When one does not, it goes to a licensed collection attorney, and knowing in advance where it would land is part of deciding whether pursuing it is worth your money.

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 debtor is an individual consumer, we are not the right agency and we will say so.
Business collections — also called commercial collections — is the recovery of debt owed by one business to another: unpaid invoices, contracts, notes, and judgments. Because the debtor is a business rather than a consumer, these accounts fall outside the consumer FDCPA, which gives a commercial collection agency like Alexander, Strauss & Associates more room to pursue payment. We collect across Texas and, through a network of licensed collection attorneys, nationwide — on contingency: no recovery, no fee.
Commercial, business-to-business debt is generally outside the federal consumer-collection rules — which gives you more leverage in pursuing a company that owes your business money.
Unpaid invoices, breached contracts, defaulted notes, judgments, and aged trade receivables — across every industry.
