I was contacted by the building owner about a mechanic lien I filed. I was told the project engineer spoke with the subcontractor (JN Glass) that has failed to pay me for my service and material and stated to them he had a dispute with my total charges. They emailed him stating he should resolve this matter with me. They also said they signed a lien waiver from the subcontractor (JN Glass) indicating he was paid in full. How do I move forward in this situation? It feel as I am back to my original position. The material in that building is still unpaid for as well as our labor. What can I do?...Read More

Can you include exceptions on a Texas conditional waiver like you would on a California conditional waiver? The customer is requesting that we include exceptions on the waiver to show that we are excluding invoices on a previously issued waiver. There are open invoices through 8/31/2022 And there are open invoices through 9/30/2022 They want a conditional through 9/30/2022 with the exception of invoices through 8/31/2022 (they received a conditional for August already) Is it needed? I wasn't going to include August invoices. ...Read More

I subcontracted work for another company from February 2023 till April 2023. The work was performed at Enterprise Products Mont Belvieu, TX. The work performed was Non-Destructive Testing on equipment. I received partial payment when my company submitted invoices to them as this company factored their invoices to pay their vendors, employees etc. I have not received the remaining balance amount for all my company invoices that was submitted to them from February 2023 till April 2023. I did not send out any notice letters to them as its been over 3 months now since February 2023. How can I move forward with putting a lien on this compony for non payment? If you can get back with me on my options moving forward I will greatly appreciate it Thank You! Jacob Garza / Owner Cell # 832-863-7395 jgarza@efficientinspectionservices.com ...Read More

I filed a lien and still have not been paid. I was under the impression that once the lien was filed it would be in affect until the payment was made? I'm not sure what next steps are at this point? If the lien is no longer valid, why would that be? If it is, then what is next? Is there a way to add fees to this lien for the out of pocket expense I've incurred for this service?...Read More

On this commercial AIA project since Jan, standard AIA stuff we've seen before, including the conditional lien waiver. Now they want an unconditional waiver in order to get our first payment (after 2 other subcontractors have recently damaged the work we've done and had to fix/ redo). I would like to stop all work on this project, but I know I can't :-( What are my options? Thanks!...Read More

My company was subcontracted in to perform concrete work for a project back in March. The Senior Project Manager informed of the pay structure before starting. I asked questions to the Senior PM about the contract and he stated a certain section did not pertain to me. We both signed. After starting work, it came time for the first payment and the Senior PM changed the pay structure after he got clarification. I submitted the final invoice 6/2 after work was complete 5/25. The Senior PM has again changed the pay structure. He is responsible for getting materials there needed and has failed to do so throughout the project and is stating repairs needed, engineer inspections and turnover of the project is needed before I can receive the final check when i was not informed that until 6/9 when the final check was supposedly be received based off the Senior PM's relayed information to me. The job site is an hour an a half one way and I do not have funds to be sending my guys for nothing when he has not had materials on-site the last time I had a crew on-site to work. I am a small company that has been taken advantage of when I acted in good faith since the beginning in hopes to receive more work. His conduct, inability to schedule trades correctly, to communicate effectively, and order materials properly has obstructed my company’s ability to fulfill and profit from the work that needed to be performed....Read More

We have a project in Texas that we are supplying material for. We are contracted with a subcontractor to the GC so we are considered a 2nd tier supplier. Our customer on behalf of the owner and GC requested that we purchase and store the material (Painted Aluminum Coil) to avoid any further escalation which we call "Stored Materials". We did this and sent our Invoice along with photos and Certificate of Insurance when the material arrived. However we have not been paid. Are we allowed to send a Notice to Prime for this unpaid material? I know our deadline for delivered material is 15th day of the second month in which material is delivered however I am not sure the rules for Stored Material. ...Read More

I work in a chemical company. Contractors are subject to the Texas early payment rule (payment for construction within 35 days) We are trying to determine if 'construction' is for equipment installed in a chemical plant - pumps, exchangers, reactors, etc. Some people indicate that if the equipment is made to be removed, then it really is not 'construction' just 'parts' and is not subject to mechanics liens and not subject to the texas early payment requirement. I believe that equipment installed in a chemical plant (parts that make the chemical plant operator) should be considered 'constuction'. Just like a car - the transmission is designed to be replaced - so heat exchangers and pumps in a chemical plant are also made or designed to be replace - your thoughts?...Read More
