We did work for the Houston airport and the actual job address is: Terminal D IAH Airport Houston, TX 77032 The owner information that we were given is: Houston Airport Systems P.O Box 60106 Houston, TX 77205-0106 We are subcontractors hired by a General Contractor but not sure if this job type is considered "state/county" or if it would be something else. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hello,
In all likelihood, it will be considered a municipal/government project. See if you can get a copy of the original contract between the GC and the Property Owner. The information you are looking for is also on the payment/performance bonds the GC was required to have before beginning work. You may request copies of all of these from the GC and they have to give you at least the payment/performance bond information.
Keep in mind that, if you have not been paid, you need to perfect a lien on the government project the same way you would perfect a lien on a commercial or residential contract. There are time limits to send notices.

If the project is publicly owned, there may be a payment bond. If the project is privately owned, say by a tenant, then you may be able to make a claim against the tenant's leasehold interest.
You cannot file a mechanic's lien against publicly owned property, but may be able to lay claim to a tenant's leasehold interest in the property.
Retain a construction attorney to evaluate your legal situation, and to provide advice.
Good luck.
