We would like to enforce a lien with forclosure

Texas

We filed a lien in 2021 in Texas and would like to start the foreclosure process. How do we do that?

In order to foreclose on your lien you will need to bring a lawsuit for foreclosure in the county in which the lien is located. I highly recommend you hire an attorney to initiate suit. Note that if you filed the lien as an LLC or some other type of business entity, such as a limited partnership or corporation, you will be required to hire an attorney, as you cannot represent a business entity in Texas pro se. 

In most cases, the lawsuit to foreclose on the lien must be brought within 2 years of the deadline for filing your lien. This means you may not have a lot of time to initiate suit. I would contact an attorney about this issue as soon as you are able to. 

At Murphy Legal we have experience handling these types of lawsuits. Feel free to reach out to us, as we have offices all over Texas and can work anywhere in the state. Our phone number is (979) 690-0808. 

Good luck!
