Merchants:

At the Llano County Attorney’s Office our first and foremost priority regarding HOT CHECKS is to collect and return restitution owed to you as quickly as possible. In order to do this we are providing you with important updated information on how to properly submit a check for collection along with tips on gathering crucial information for us to effectively and efficiently prosecute HOT CHECK writers.

TAKING A CHECK

Witness the check being signed

Match the check writer to photo ID

Verify the date

Ensure dollar amount written numerically in the “$ box” matches the amount spelled out on the “dollars” line

Verify correct mailing address

Write the following at top of check:

Date of Birth

Driver's License Number

Initial check upon acceptance

Notate what check purchased, i.e. gas

WHY THIS INFORMATION IS VITAL

Recording this information convinces the jury that the check writer actually wrote the check.

This information enables the County Attorney to obtain a warrant and file a case for prosecution.

FILING A HOT CHECK

Send a demand letter to check writer (see example)

Wait 10 days for response

If no response file the case with County Attorney

Gather:

Complaint of Worthless Check form

Original check from bank

Affidavit of Service

Copy of Demand Letter

Certified Mail receipt and green card (if vendor opts to do so)

Mailing the demand letter certified mail is not required

Make a copy for your records prior to submission

Mail to:
Llano County Attorney

Hot Check Division

801 Ford Street Room 111

Llano, Texas 78643

Do not accept payments on any case that has been submitted to the County Attorney for collection.

WE WILL

Add a $30.00 Merchant Fee payable to you for each check submitted

Add cost of certified mail to collection efforts (if vendor opted)

Mail you payments received on your account promptly upon collection

Issue a warrant and file a case if the check writer fails to make restitution

TIPS FOR THE MERCHANT

Put a policy in place for check acceptance.

DO NOT rely on information pre-printed on a check

DO NOT rely on information verbally provided by Check Writer

Be cautious of:

Checks with low check numbers (check numbers in the 100’s)

Temporary Checks

Expired Driver’s Licenses

Out-of-state Driver’s Licenses

Anyone who cannot produce a photo ID

Any variation between the information on the check, the ID produced and/or the check writer
