Provider-specific findings
Delinquency research for this provider
The notes below may document a rule or explain a specific public-information limit. Any active notice and direct provider confirmation remain controlling.
- Grace period
- The current ordinance requires payment according to the bill and permits an eligible residential customer age 60 or older to request a penalty-free delay until the 25th day after bill issuance under Texas law.
- Late-fee rules
- The current indexed ordinance does not expose the numerical late fee or percentage. Past-due accounts may be subject to additional deposits and disconnection procedures.
- Shut-off timeline
- If nonpayment requires discontinuation, the City may require a $100 deposit or the average of two months' charges for residential customers before restoring service. The current pages do not publish a universal day-count schedule from due date to shutoff.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The reviewed current pages do not specify the warning channel, notice count, automated call/text sequence, or door-hanger procedure before discontinuation.
