The operating environment

Delinquency is rising while collections labor stays scarce.

Every one of these numbers lands on a servicing floor as more outbound attempts, more promise-to-pay tracking and more documentation. A dedicated team absorbs that volume without adding headcount or recruiting in a tight labor market.

Solutions

Six service lines. One dedicated-team model.

Each program is staffed with agents assigned to your operation and trained on your systems and procedures — starting with the receivables work that carries the most risk.

How it works

First-party by design: your name, your systems, your rules.

TEKS agents do not take placements in their own name. They work as an extension of your team — logged into the platforms you authorize, following the scripts and policies you approve, with every note and outcome documented where your managers already look.

  1. Step 1

    Your operation

    • CRM / DMS / loan servicing
    • Scripts and policies
    • Escalation paths
  2. Step 2

    TEKS dedicated team

    • Agents assigned to you
    • Bilingual, U.S.-aligned hours
    • QA against your standards
  3. Step 3

    Your customers

    • Hear your company name
    • Voice, SMS and email
    • Every contact documented
01In your name
Customers hear your company, not a third party. The relationship, the account and the creditor status stay with you.
02In your systems
Agents work inside your CRM, DMS or loan-servicing platform. No parallel database, no export, no reconciliation.
03To your policies
Scripts, payment arrangements, escalation paths and compliance rules are yours. We train to them and audit against them.
04Reported to your managers
Activity, promises to pay and outcomes are visible in real time to the people who run your operation.

Whether an engagement is classified as first-party servicing or third-party collection under the FDCPA depends on how it is structured, and is determined with your counsel. TEKS runs every program to Regulation F standards regardless.

Industries

Built in automotive finance. Applied wherever receivables and customers meet.

Dedicated bilingual teams for buy-here-pay-here dealerships, independent dealers and automotive finance companies — portfolios where every day of delinquency has a cost and a customer conversation may be in English or Spanish. The same model serves lenders, servicers and businesses that need bilingual customer-facing and back-office capacity.

How the three programs differ in cadence, staffing and compliance posture is set out on the industries page.

Engagement process

From discovery to go-live, in six steps.

A structured onboarding, sized to your portfolio and systems access. Production typically begins about two weeks after onboarding and training, depending on scope and readiness.

Nearshore, not offshore

Arlington, Texas and the Monterrey metropolitan area.

Operations in Guadalupe, Nuevo León — part of metropolitan Monterrey, two hours by air from Dallas — with a U.S. office in Arlington, Texas. The floor holds Central Standard Time all year, bilingual by default, and close enough for in-person visits.

Central time, both sides
The floor holds Central Standard Time all year, so it matches Texas exactly in winter and runs an hour behind in summer with the roster shifted to match. Escalations and coaching happen the same day either way.
Bilingual by default
Every program can run in English and Spanish without a separate team.

Compliance and quality

Programs run to Regulation F standards, whatever the classification.

Regulation F binds debt collectors as the FDCPA defines them. Rather than argue about where a given engagement falls, TEKS runs every program to its operative standards and documents it.

  • Call-frequency and time-of-day limits enforced in dialing rules, not left to agent memory
  • Cease-communication and opt-out requests honored on receipt and logged in your system
  • Call recording and QA scoring against your scripts and policies
  • Every contact attempt, promise to pay and outcome documented in your platform

Standards every program is run to

Call-frequency standard

A presumption of violation for placing more than seven telephone calls about a particular debt within seven consecutive days, or within seven days after a telephone conversation about it — counted per person and per debt.

12 CFR § 1006.14(b)(2)
Time-of-day windows

No contact before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. in the consumer's local time zone.

12 CFR § 1006.6(b)(1)(i)
Cease-communication requests

A written request to stop is honored on receipt, and every email or text carries a clear, simple opt-out.

12 CFR § 1006.6(c), (e)
Workplace and representation

No workplace contact where the employer prohibits it; no direct contact with a consumer known to be represented by counsel.

12 CFR § 1006.6(b)(2)–(3)

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation F, 12 CFR Part 1006 (effective November 30, 2021). Summarized for orientation; it is not legal advice.

Leadership

Run by an operator, not a sales office.

Patricia Cerda leads TEKS Solutions after two decades running customer service, collections, recovery, insurance-verification and underwriting operations for dealerships and financial institutions. TEKS is built around the problem she kept seeing from the inside: servicing floors that could not hire fast enough for the work in front of them. She still leads client onboarding personally.

Questions

Straight answers before the first call.

What operators ask when they evaluate a nearshore team. The same answers appear in the structured data on this page.

What is nearshore outsourcing?
Nearshore outsourcing means working with a dedicated team in a nearby country — for U.S. businesses, typically Mexico — that operates in aligned time zones and provides bilingual support. It offers closer collaboration than offshore alternatives.
What services does TEKS Solutions provide?
TEKS provides collections support, customer service and contact center outsourcing, insurance verification, underwriting verification, virtual assistant and administrative support, and outsourced bookkeeping — all with bilingual nearshore teams.
Does TEKS only work with automotive finance companies?
No. TEKS has deep experience in automotive finance and dealerships, but also supports general businesses that need customer service, administrative, and back-office outsourcing.
How quickly can an outsourced team launch?
After onboarding and training, TEKS typically targets approximately two weeks to production go-live, depending on scope, systems access, and customer readiness.
Can outsourced teams work inside our existing systems?
Yes. TEKS agents are trained to work inside the CRM, DMS, loan servicing, and accounting platforms you authorize.
What engagement models does TEKS offer?
TEKS supports dedicated agent/hourly models for specialized functions and per-account/full servicing models for broader portfolio engagements. Month-to-month flexibility is available where applicable.
