I sent out an invoice for work completed on March 02, still no pay

TexasMechanics Lien

Hello, Thank you in advance, I was contacted by a golf course here in Texas, in Frisco to be exact, to provide them with a hand rail estimate. the estimate was approved and the job was completed on March 02, I sent my invoice on the same day but unfortunately I am given the round around when I do get to speak to someone, what steps should I take ?

You should look into filing a lien on the property. It is a complex process however, and I don’t know a few key facts.

Hi, You will want to lien but first you are going to need to find out who the owner of the golf course is. Check the property records to see if you did business with the actual owner of the property you did the work on. Assuming the owner is the company that signed your contract (assuming you have a contract), you are considered the original contractor (GC in some circles) under Chapter 53 and may file your mechanic's lien. Be aware, however, that you have strict deadlines for filing that lien. Based on what you've said here, your deadline should fall under the 15th day of the fourth month after work was completed section. Work was completed in March so your deadline should be July 15th. Make sure you send the notice to the property owner after you've filed the lien. If you would like assistance, feel free to contact my office. E. Aaron Cartwright III 214-789-1354 Aaron@EACLawyer.com
