Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

billing statute of limitation
A printer I used in TX to print some booklets for
me,agreed verbally to store my books in 2002 at $20
per pallet per month. . I have never been billed in this
entire time. Nor have I been told how many pallets the
books are stored on.

In Nov 2004, it was said the insurance co told them
they needed to do something with them. I need to make
a decision as to what to do with them.

I asked for an inventory so I could take delivery here in
CA on some, and have the rest destroyed. I never got it.

In May 2005, I asked for the shipping again, sent $900
for shipping that they asked for and then was told that
the business where they are stored took the money
toward storage cost (I was not told they would be stored
off site). Now the printer is wanting storage (asking how
much I think is fair).

Can my books be held hostage? Can
I be billed this long after the fact when I was lead to
believe that up until last Nov, that the storage cost was
no issue.

Most of this is verbal, some in emails (such as cost for
shipping). They'r also claiming they can't give me
an inventory of how much has been destroyed,
that I can figure that myself by knowing what I have plus
the 6000 books they still have

Re: billing statute of limitation

Limitations on a contract action in Texas is four years. So limitations is no bar.

Since it's a verbal deal, you're probably on the wrong end of the stick.
