Texas Notice of Intent to Lien Questions

Notice of Intent to Lien
Texas
We are a masonry subcontractor; we did work on a public school. We billed for retainage on 03/20/20 and still have not been paid. Since then a change order was issued for additional work in August 2020. We last worked on site 08/14/20. Now, we are owed retainage $7,000.00 and change order amount $8,000.00. We haven't been able to bill for the change order yet. Please let me know our options. Should we send a written notice of claim on retainage only? Or include the additional $8,000?
TexasMy husband is a prime contractor, that contracted directly with the homeowner on a deck remodeling project recently. His last day of labor was 8/16. The home own misunderstood the original estimate he agreed to, and was unhappy with the (in his opinion) quality of work conducted and asked to cease the project which was 90% complete already. We have requested that he compromise and pay and additional $6900 for work already performed, and have discounted from the total due nearly $5000. The estimate was send to the husband via quickbooks, and acceptedwithin the system. He has paid multiple invoices sent from the estimates in quickbooks as well, aside from the last invoice that is still outstanding. Are we able to file a lien? What is the requirement that we must send the contract to the county clerk? I read that might be for new construction only but am not sure? Would it be the lien that goes to the county clerk? Can you help us clarify what our next legal steps would be? The work we provide is only of high quality. We have never had such a compliant- this is clearly the home owner being distracted, not understanding what he has agreed to, and wanting this work for free.
TexasI am an owner our A/C stop working contractor was call to fix the A/C he said we need a new A/C. he placed the new A/C three days later the A/C stop working he was called again. the technician requested to be paid for $120 for his work. I called the owner he claimed the work he did wasn't related to the new A/C he claim he clean drain lines and adjusted float switch. I wasn't home and he didn't discussed with me what kind of work needed the work was not authorized by me. by consulting with A/C license he was suppose to make sure the lines are cleared when he place the new A/C and make sure the float switch is adjusted. with his affidavit claim the amount he's claiming is $812.50.
Thanks
TexasI received a notice with intent to file a lien. The project was completed may 11th and the notice was received august 15th. This is for a residential homestead. Would they be able to file a lien and I would still have to go dispute it as invalid? Or how does a clerk tell if a lien is invalid.
TexasHello, during the month of April, my electrical company from Texas was hired to do a job in Oklahoma, with a contractor from Texas. There was four different phases to the job, the first three were paid for, but the last one was not. We have sent reminders for the contractor to pay, but the money has yet to be seen. Do I file the mechanics of lien here in Texas or Oklahoma. Is it too late to file it? If it is, what do I need to do now so that my company can get paid. Thank you
TexasWhen i entered in a project into LevelSet it was set as a Residential. Upon further review Scout found it listed as Commercial. So when we sent our Notice of Non-Payment it was under Non-Residential but should have been a Residential. Where do we stand in regards to this? Are we still protected? We are approaching a Lien to be sent out and want to make sure that we are protected in this matter.

TexasGood afternoon,
We are a general contracting company in Texas and did some plumbing service calls on an apartment complex with multiple individual owners. Each unit is owned by a certain individual. They are run by a board of directors, and that board has a management company they have hired. They have not paid for some services dating back to January 2019. I was going to send an NOI to each owner unit we have done services on. The owners don't know about what's going on, as they believe their money is being used for the good of the property and paying the bills. So if tey get an NOI, they'll be surprised. The thing is, it's been well over 4 months to file a lien. I'm not sure there's anything I can do.
TexasWhat if the general contractor claims he is not paying me because he is not satisfied with the work?
What if the general contractor claims to be unsatisfied with my service? Job is complete and I have furnished all materials and labor, and now he claims to not be satisfied
Texascan i file file a noi against a bank for failure to pay on a construction loan
TexasI’m a pressure washing business and was hired to clean apartment complex for $4,000. I was fired for not showing up on time. I told them to give me till Friday to complete entire job but, was fired Thursday morning at 9:21am for a No show for that day. I was actually about 20 minutes from pulling into the complex. However, I don’t punch a time clock for anyone. I spent over $550 my money & a total of about 16hrs on that job. They only wanna pay me $400. I charge $200 an hourly rate. I told them I wouldn’t accept it.
TexasFor a Texas commercial project involving a leasehold interest, should the true property owner (the landlord) be included on the lien affidavit?
TexasI am a GC and need to file an intent to lien but have only submitted up to draw #2 on a 4 draw project. Should the amount on the intent be for only the past due amount, the amount of draw 1 and 2 or the entire amount left on the contract?
TexasWe are a subcontractor who recently finished a major job but we weren't allowed by the owner to finish the last change order (the owner stopped work). But the store is (or was) open already. The owner also unilaterally changed payment terms to 120 days from 30. Can we go ahead and send retention notices since we're not allowed to do the last bit of installation?
