Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Statute of Limitations

What is the statute of limitations for an attorney to collect his fee from me. Are each of the monthly invoices for services that I have recieved considered separate for the purposes of the limitation. I have been making weekly payments to this attorney but he nows wants the entire payment and is threatening to sue.
