Why does the title company require 1.5x escrow ?

TexasMechanics Lien

I live in Texas. I had some remodeling work done at my house. There is no written contract. The GC did not do the work as promised. The gc was also argumentative and was physically removed from the property. He filed a mechanic lien affidavit. Does he have a right to file a lien on the house with no contract in writing??

If this is your primary residence (homestead), then the contractor does not have the right to file a lien against the property.  As such, the lien would be invalid and possibly a fraudulent lien.  I am a Texas Board Certified attorney.  Feel free to contact our firm directly at 817 442-5106 for assistance with removing the lien.  Ask for Robert Lovein or Zak Presley.
