Last year, our firm obtained a summary judgment against H&P Capital, Inc. for attempting to collect an alleged consumer debt from a Texas resident without obtaining and filing with the Texas Secretary of State the bond required by the Texas Debt Collection Act.  It is our understanding that H&P Capital, Inc. will at times tell consumers that it is “HPC.”  A summary judgment is a judgment that a court signs without the need for a trial on the issue addressed by the summary judgment.  In other words, there is no genuine issue as to any material fact (as to the issue addressed by the summary judgment motion), and the party filing the motion is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law against the party responding to the motion.  Here is a copy of the summary judgment against H&P Capital, Inc. -
