We purchased a foreclosed home on Dec 3 and have Trustee sale, in Texas recorded 12/26. On 2/21/2020 a contractor comes home and tells that he has a judgement and put a lien on the house for work he did back in June 2019 for a 15k, which he never get paid for the whole work. We did not see any lien before purchase and we did not see any lien as of now. So is there any action we should take? Can he still put a lien on the house for work done for previous owner? Previous owner moved out of state and cannot be reached according to contractor who paid an attorney 2.5k. The attorney told him the house is still on ex owners name which is not correct either. He briefly showed a judgement on his phone, so that makes us think perhaps there is something going on. On the other hand his claim of 15 k is out of ways as he said he only did painting and carpet, which I know would cost no more than 6k.
