Leeland Temple, who lives in a 14 x 60-foot trailer house on Post Oak Road, was in disbelief when he opened up the bill, which stated if the amount was not paid by May 3 his electricity would be cut off.
"They're crazy. They have lost their minds," he said Friday. "They're even crazier if they think I'm going to pay that."
Indeed, Mr. Temple, they have lost their minds. I recall my own ill fate with their company when I moved into a condo and did not receive a bill for more than 3 months in 2002. I asked TXU how often did I have to call and actually beg to billed? They finally billed me with an estimated $800 in one fell swoop. I eventually went to the Better Business Bureau, which resulted in TXU eating the entire bill.
