Invoice Payment Terms Texas

Summary

In Texas, invoice payment terms are usually dictated by the contract, often defaulting to 30 days if unspecified. If a contract specifies a 15-day term, payment is expected within that period. Unpaid debts are subject to a four-year statute of limitations, after which they become time-barred. Consider hiring a collection agency if the debt is within this period and collection attempts have failed. For cyber loss claims, check your insurance policy for specific reporting deadlines, as they generally require prompt reporting.

yes 15 days
If your contract specifies a *-day payment term, you are generally required to pay within that timeframe. If you don't pay within the 15 days, the other party may have the right to charge late fees or take legal action.
Is there an issue with meeting this deadline?
does a debt go away in unpaid
In Texas, an unpaid debt does not go away but it may be subject to a statute of limitations, which is generally four years for most debts. This means creditors have four years to file a lawsuit to collect the debt. After this period, the debt is considered "time-barred."
Is the debt you're referring to older than four years?
