can I file a mechanic's lien?

Texas

I own a remediation company and was hired by a residential tenant who never paid. Can we file a lien against property owner in Texas?

Maybe. Retain a construction attorney to evaluate your legal position and to provide advice.

You really do not want to violate the Texas Fraudulent Lien Act, which can impose statutory damages of $10,000, or actual damages, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees.

Good luck.

Only against the tenant’s interest, but yes

Best to go sue in JP Court
