TexasPrompt Payment

Request for legal advice: Hello, I’m Daniel W Walling the owner of a small construction company doing business as a general contractor. I took over the company from my father who started the company in 1961. We do General commercial remodeling & maintenance. We were contacted by Taratino Properties Inc. to do flooring. I’m a small general contractor from Waco TX I don’t have any employees I just hire sub-contractors to do my jobs (I have paid my subs already) I was hired by Tarantino Properties Inc. a giant property management company to put new flooring in the “Raleigh State Office Building” owned by the Texas (801 Austin Ave, Waco, TX) We have had email communication with Coni Jenkins (the person who hired us) she is based in Houston. She explained that the state was funding this project and she hoped to have the funding “any day now” I have 3 other small project that have not been paid for ether. The 1st finial invoice for the “Raleigh State Office Building, Flooring Replacement” was on 10-25-22 for 66,720.00 After some changes the 2nd finial invoice was sent on 11-4-22 for 63,995.00 Further changes were made because a flooring area was done that should not have been done and I had to eat the costs. So, the 3rd finial invoice was turned in on 11-16-22 for 57,701.00 I’ve had to borrow a lot of money to pay off all my sub’s and suppliers but their all paid off Coni Jenkins keeps telling us the funds (state of tx as I understand) are still pending g and it should come thru any day now. I have 3 other jobs I’ve done with them that I have not been paid for they are listed here. Replace 1- window on 10th floor invoiced on 7-28-22 for 1,700.00 Replace 1- window on the ground floor. Invoiced on 7-29-22 for 1,700.00 Flagpole – fix 1- flagpole invoiced on 12-1-22 for 1,571.50 What I would like is some advice / help to get paid. I have no contract or work order but do have emails giving me the go ahead & direction over the course of the job before, during & after the job. Thank You Daniel Walling – Owner 254-366-8181 danie@wallingconstruction.com Walling Construction LLC 515 Woodall Waco, Texas 76705
