handwriting "final" on a progress waiver?

No, simply handwriting "final" on a Texas mechanics lien waiver will not be sufficient to transform the waiver from a progress waiver to a final one. There are other differences on those forms, and Texas strictly requires that the statutory forms be used. What's more - it's just poor form. Handwriting edits onto the form calls things into question, like "<em>Who made the change, and when?</em>"
