That sounds like a best case scenario. The Texas mechanics lien process has worked to get you paid! A cashier's check is guaranteed by the bank, so there's obviously no risk of the check bouncing. Therefore, offering up a lien waiver for the amount being paid is a win win for both parties. But be sure to have that check in hand before waiving your rights. You can download a free, Texas Final Unconditional Lien Waiver form here. For more information, these articles may be helpful:

If it’s a final payment, you use an Unconditional Release of Lien Form. He’s entitled to that in return for a cashier’s check.

If he is about to pay you with a cashier's check and you in fact thereby get paid, obviously at that point you have no basis for the lien. So do it.
