A real estate broker's lien will be different from a mechanics lien, and the requirements for such a lien will be found in Chapter 62 of the Texas Property Code (instead of Chapter 53, where the Texas mechanics lien statute can be found). Notably, a real estate broker's lien does not appear to require the sending of a Notice of Intent, but notice to owner of the lien filing is required upon the filing of a lien. However, you'll want to reach out to an attorney familiar with real estate brokers' liens to discuss your situation as well as the proper procedure for filing a Texas real estate broker's lien.
