TexasBond ClaimsChange OrdersMechanics Lien

I am a vendor providing equipment to a GC in Texas. During the sale of the job, our (ex) REP wrongfully asked the GC to issue him a Purchase order for $50k instead of giving us the full amount to us. Soon after we found out, we reached out to the GC (3/26/19) without any response. Many months later and with lawyers involved, the GC and our ex-REP agreed to cancel their "internal PO" and issue us a Change Order for the full amount of $50k. All along it has been clear they are not planning on paying this amount as they have sent emails stating delays on our part. We have sent an invoice for the amount it is owed to us followed by: "Mr. XXXXXXX , we finally received the CO that has been in discussion since March 2019. Attached you will find our invoice and schedule of values based on our new contract amount. This invoice reflects the work completed per our Purchase Agreement #333123003A. While we would not be accepting responsibility for delays, we are aware that TRA has not pursued any liquidated damages on this project and you haven’t provided any backup to your claims as required by our contract and applicable law, and per our email sent on March 30, 2020 (attached). Ever since Mr. XXX(Owner) failed to respond to our letters notifying him of the wrongful activity by (XXX ex-rep) beginning in March 26th, 2019, it has been clear to us that Red River has no intention of paying this money that is rightfully owed to us. If we do not receive payment of this invoice via wire transfer within 5 business days, Ecoverde will be forced to proceed with making a payment bond claim, file a Stop Notice, and notify all parties involved in the project of the situation".
