Skip tracing & asset investigation · Austin, TX
Owed money by a Austin business? You can't collect from a debtor you can't find — or one with nothing to take. We locate evasive businesses and their principals and map what's actually recoverable before committing to enforcement.
Where a Austin account gets resolved
Austin sits in Travis County, with city limits extending into Bastrop, Hays, and Williamson. A suit on a Austin account is filed with the Travis County District Clerk.
Travis County has 12 district courts hearing civil matters and 9 statutory county courts at law.
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.
Often, yes. We trace principals and successor entities and identify personal or successor liability where the facts and your documents support it.
On contingency accounts, investigation is part of our pursuit at no upfront cost. We'll tell you if a matter calls for anything beyond that.
