Do I send a monthly notice based off of the month that work was completed or the month in which we sent the invoice?
TexasWe invoice our customer several months after completing the work. Will this complicate our notice process? We are required to send monthly notices based off of the INVOICE date and not the month in which the labor took place, correct? This can complicate things, because at times we will be sending our last notice and the lien during the same month.

The law requires that notice letters be sent based upon when the work was performed. The law does not care about any agreement or practice where invoices are sent much later than the work is performed.
This legal requirement absolutley can, and often does, complicate things, but it is critical to send your notices timely if you wish to preserve your lien rights.
