Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Non-payment on business account

We were hired by a contracting company to do electrical work at a naval air base. Now the contracting company has fired all of its employees and has not returned calls to us for payment of services completed. We did not have a written contract but a verbal one. They paid for all of our services except one for approx. $1300.00. We have sent them a bill in a certified letter, with no response. The owner has now filed for a divorce and her husband contacted us to warn us that she will probably not pay the invoice. What kind of legal action could we take?

Re: Non-payment on business account

Find the surety that holds the payment bond from the Contracting Officer, and file a claim if it's not too late. Otherwise your only other option is to bring suit against the contractor that hired you.

Your invoices, and work done, will support action on a verbal contract.
