Coverage
One floor, one roster, fifty states.
TEKS serves U.S. operations nationwide from a single bilingual operations floor in the Monterrey metropolitan area, with contracting and account management through Arlington, Texas. There is no branch network — your program is staffed by a dedicated team that knows your portfolio, wherever your customers are.
How national coverage works
Distance is not the variable. Overlap is.
A collections or customer-service program does not need an office near your customers. It needs agents who are awake when your customers are, who can be reached by your managers the same afternoon, and who work inside the system your operation already runs on. A branch in a distant city delivers none of those things; a dedicated team on an aligned clock delivers all three.
The Monterrey metropolitan area holds Central Standard Time all year: Mexico ended seasonal clock changes in 2022 and kept the exception only for border municipalities, which Guadalupe is not. From November to March the floor and Texas keep the same clock exactly; from March to November the floor runs an hour behind U.S. Central, and rosters move forward to match. Coverage is scheduled against your clock either way, so nothing about your working day changes in March. The floor is roughly two hours by air from Dallas–Fort Worth, which puts it inside the working day of every U.S. time zone, close enough for onboarding visits, and in the same bilingual labor market that makes English and Spanish delivery standard rather than a premium.
What does vary by geography is law. Statutes of limitation, wage-garnishment posture, repossession notice requirements and — most importantly for first-party work — whether a state’s debt collection act reaches original creditors all differ state to state. Teams assigned to a portfolio are briefed on the applicable state rules before taking a call, and the collections support program is run to Regulation F operating standards everywhere regardless of classification.
Time zones
Scheduled to your customers' clock, not ours.
Contact windows follow the consumer's local time in every program — the Regulation F standard, and the only version that makes operational sense.
Eastern
1 hour ahead of the floor in winter, 2 in summer
Shifts start earlier so the 8 a.m. contact window opens on time.
Central
Same clock in winter, 1 hour ahead in summer
The closest overlap there is with the operations floor and the Arlington office.
Mountain
1 hour behind the floor in winter, same clock in summer
Afternoon and early-evening queues carry the coverage.
Pacific
2 hours behind in winter, 1 in summer
Later shifts cover the West Coast working day to 9 p.m. local.
Where we work
Fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the metros inside them.
Programs are staffed for every U.S. state and the District of Columbia; the 183 places listed are shown so you can see the footprint at a glance, not as separate destinations. State-specific legal detail is published only after counsel review.
South17 states
Central and Eastern time zones. Central-time portfolios have the closest overlap with the floor; teams on Eastern-time portfolios start earlier so the 8 a.m. contact window opens on the consumer's clock.
