Debt / Lending Agreements Lawyer in Houston, TX.
I don't practice in our state, but I do know that many credit card companies are suing debtors for claiming that a notation of "paid in full" has the legal effect of paying off a debt when the check is for less than the alleged debt.
I know that this strategy will not work in Texas. 1 person marked this answer as good

It won't work in California either. There may have been a time long ago in common law when it worked but no more.
