I hired a sub contractor who left a job not completed. And it required quite a bit of repairs and finish out. Is there a way to collect from them
TexasI am a subcontractor working on a construction job (restoring a historic building) for a General Contractor in Temple, Texas. This General Contractor actually owns this building. We have never worked with this general contractor and want to make sure we are protected. Do we need to file a pre-lien to make sure we get paid? (we do not currently have an outstanding invoice, we bill for the work we complete each month, after we complete a portion of work).
TexasGC on residential homestead property. Cost plus format. Oral contract. Permitted job City of Austin. CO issued. Owner refuses to pay 115K final balance. All bills and subcontractors paid by me. Submitted all invoices, receipts, and cancelled checks to owner but refuse to pay. Can I get a constitutional lien? Project started Jan 15, 2022.
TexasI started a fintech company named PayUp, that does invoice factoring in Real Estate. I spoke to Frank and he asked me to put my question on here so that we could get it clarified. 1) We want to know our legal mechanics lien rights as an invoice factoring company if we are purchasing invoices after job completion (therefore cannot send intent to liens before the job has started etc)? 2) Can the mechanics lien be batched by selection of invoices, or does it have to be on every invoice? 3) We currently work in Texas, Florida, NC, & SC but plan to expand throughout the US - which states does this cause an issue with, and which states are we good to purchase receivables whilst maintaining lien rights?
TexasWe were a subcontractor on a public works project for the city of McKinney TX. I filed a prelim back at the start of the project. I just spoke to someone on the phone at Levelset that confirmed the prelim had been filed and has been faxed and emailed to the GC. The order number is 8724719 I just wanted to confirm that everything is in order to be able to collect payment.
TexasHello, I would like to have a better understanding on how often we should send non-payment notices in TX. For example - if work has been done in July and August of 2022. July non-pymt notice was due by the 15th of October, (and imagine it was sent); and August is due in November. So when we ready to send August non-pymt notice by the 15th of November - do we need to sent July notice again or should we only send it once (which imagine was already sent in October) ??
TexasI am filing a lien on a company that owes us both base totals of $228 and unpaid retainage of $273k, totaling $501k. Can I file this as one Mechanic's lien amount of $501k or do I need to file a Mechanic's lien on only the $228k and then a notice of unpaid retainage on the $273k?
TexasHi, I'm a licensed GC here in San Antonio TX, I just recently was sued in civil court for $5,000. The homeowner messaged me to release funds to the sub, the sub-contractor misappropriated the funds and the homeowner came after me and won. What repercussions will this have on my license? Trying to decide whether to appeal or not. The judge was not interested in proof or reasoning.
TexasI worked on a project for 8 months, it was the in-laws home that needed some repairs in order to be put on the market to sale after their passing. I worked with my soon to be ex-husband on the project. It was a verbal agreement that if i helped him getting this house ready To be sold- when it did sell- he would give me $10,000. The house sold Nov.1,2022. I have not heard a peep from him in regards to me being paid. A few months back he made a statement that he was giving me anything, that i owed him for other things that he started to rattle off. These things he stated had nothing to do with this house and besides....i dont feel that i owe him anything to be honest. With that being said- this verbal was for the job not by monthly payments as the examples show. What do i nees to do here to get my money? He also had me charge stuff on my home depot account with assurance of being paid. 1300.00 be be exact. Not one penny haw been applied to that.
TexasThis project was done for the housing devlopment. The developer was listed as the owner. Because it had a street address when that home was sold it was marked as possible residential. We are now being told we have no lien rights because the last notice sent should have been residential not commercial even though the work was not just for the house it was for the entire development. This raises concern for the multitude of jobs we have for new housing development. At what point if any should this have been listed as residential? Should new housing developments be listed as residential or commercial?
TexasI have a customer that has not paid me in 4 years
TexasI own my own business and was hired by the homeowner to do some remodeling we found a problem in her attic and stopped work immediately and told her about it she contacted someone else to come look at it and now has someone else doing the work but has not said anything to us about being fired or not finishing the work is there anything she can do to us legally?
TexasI'm a contractor for a multifamily project, and we pass to file a mechanical lean deadline. Our deadline was on August 15. Is there another course of action to receive payment?
TexasI have mechanics lien on my rental (non-homestead) in Texas. Upon research, the sub did not give me any notice so I am assuming he did not "perfect the lien" The lien will expire in about 6 weeks as he filed it last year. How do I go about getting it off my record once it expires as the sub is refusing to remove it even after I pointed out he didn't follow proper procedure (not to mention I had to have his work COMPLETELY redone)? He then sent me pictures of his work which shows the crappy job he did....along with a predated invoice.
TexasMy company is a primary contractor with contract directly with property ownership for transportation and warehousing services for product (furniture, fixtues, equipment) going into their hotel for a renovation. Invoices are delinquent with the oldest going back to April 2022. We have filed a lien against the property. It is my understanding that we were not required to send preliminary notices since we are contracted directly with the property owner. Is that correct?
