Dear Catrina,
Thank you for your inquiry and subscription to Power Homebiz Guides
newsletter.
Since you have the experience and thorough knowledge of consumer and third
party collections, and seem to love the business, you are indeed on the right
track to think of establishing your own collection agency. Of course, you can
start on a smaller scale by operating a collection office within the limits of
the City or County where you are located. Then, as the business improve you can
expand Statewide and maybe later, on a nationwide scale.
We found web sites where you may check all the Credit and Collection Laws in
Texas. And best of all, we suggest that you consult a lawyer before you start on
your own. There may be some legal items that you may have to discuss with a
qualified professional
to help and protect you and your future operation.
We also suggest that you check out the business division at your City Hall
and inquire about the legal requirements of operating a collection agency like
bonds, etc.
Here are web sites that may help you: http://www.lawdog.com/states/tx/st1.htm

Good luck!
