I am the direct contractor for a residential remodel. I have a contract that I have not been paid on. The work and request for payment was submitted late June and we have been back and forth with regards to payment. They are not completely satisfied with the outcome of the project, specifically and singularly the paint. They are withholding 50% of the paint cost, which is not acceptable. I have e-mails that state that they are not happy with the finished paint look and not the application. They then said that every wall in the entire house needed to be repainted. I said no, I was not going to do that. At that point I offered to take less than owed so they could hire another contractor for paint as it seemed that whatever I did to correct any paint issues they had they were not satisfied. Their response was that they are not paying anything. So here we are.... So my understanding of Texas Lien Law, (1) Pre-lim notice,, pay me or I am filing a lien, (2) File the Lien or do I need to send second notice at this time, (3) Send record of filed Lien, do I have it correct?
