What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

From time to time my company has unpaid invoices for some of the online services we provide or disputes/chargebacks that are opened via PayPal. Is there any problem sending people an automated email letting them know that if the dispute isn't closed that the due amount will be sent to a collections agency?

We would be sending some of them to a collection agency, but not all of them since some payments are too small. However, would it still be okay to tell the smaller payments that we were going to send them to collections even if we had no intent on doing so in the immediate future?

Thanks for your time and advice! Have a wonderful day!

it is not illegal to state what you have but just to avoid any arguments, why not simply state that a failure to pay may result in the debt being referred to a collection agency as well as utilizing any other lawful means in an attempt to collect the debt
