You really should retain a construction attorney to review and evaluate your legal position based on the contract and pertinent documents. The right to be entitled to file a mechanic's lien is set out in Texas Property Code Chapter 53, and you really need to make sure that if you file a lien, you have properly and appropriately done so.

Filing an invalid lien could subject you to liability under the Texas Fraudulent Lien Act, and you could be liable for statutory damages of $10,000, or actual damages, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees. Facing such a claim would add insult to injury.

You should consider preparing a letter to mail by certified mail, return receipt requested, to your customer to set out the facts and to demand the relief that you want. Attach support for your claim such as your invoice and photographs of your completed work. Make sure that your letter is professional and business like as it may be evidence later.

If need be, consider filing suit in small claims court (assuming that your claim is less than $20,000), using your letter as evidence.

Good luck.

I finished my work in April 2021?
 
You really need to consider whether you find the money that you might not get paid for work as a subcontractor working on a large commercial Project. is significant enough for you to shell out dollars to have an attorney help you collect what you are owed.
 
When you can't fix your toilet and it's flooding your bathroom you pay a plumber to help you. When you can't repair your car yourself you pay an auto mechanic to help you . When you can't collect what is owed to you from work you performed in April of 2021 and its August of 2021 .... well, hopefully you already know what will come next on this one. If you don't know what comes next you need to call our office to stop your toilet from flooding the bathroom
