Transfer of Mechanics Lien

TexasConstruction ContractLien ReleasesMechanics LienNotice of Termination
Anonymous Contractor

I am currently building a home. We terminated the contract with the builder due to material breaches of the build contract. Now, the bank with whom we have the construction loan requires the old builder to sign an All Bills Paid affidavit, as well as the Transfer of Mechanics Lien document to the new builder. The old builder is refusing to sign these documents, despite the fact that everyone has been paid. Sour apples, if you will. But it's holding up the entire process. Is there any remedy for owners other than litigation?
