We are a water mitigation company doing emergency service work related to the freeze in Texas. This involves removal of water damaged drywall, insulation etc. as well as the drying out of those areas with dehumidifiers, fans and air scrubbers. Once we have done our work, a separate contractor would then be hired by the homeowner to come to do the construction portion of the job (basically replacing everything we had to remove). Are we to file the Affidavit of and Filing of Contract - Homestead for each job in order to protect our ability to file a lien?
Am I considered a "contractor" for the scope of work that I'm doing? I guess that should have been my main question.
I am assuming they are all homesteads. : )
Hello,
In Texas those pre-filings that are required in other states are not required here. The short answer to your question is "No."
