What happens after my company files a mechanics lien in Texas? We have filed a lien and wanted to know what are some next steps we can take to still collect payment.
TexasWe found out we are a sub-sub when we thought we were working for a GC, do we still have lien rights?
TexasGood Day,
Please confirm from where we can get the letter of occupancy in Houston TX
TexasOn the document it has May 17 as the first date of materials and labor furnished and the end date of the Materials finished as the 17th of may. It was actually the 20th of May. Does the dates effect the document?
TexasI am a contractor that worked on a property for a roof replacement. The owner had two properties and was wanting to get both roofs done. Unfortunately the owner decided to only want one of the roofs done and signed a contract for the one property they wanted to complete. We had started the Roof on the wrong property and completed both roofs in agreement that she would pay us for the second property by June. We have not received the payment for the property that we agreed from the owner to pay at a later date. The work was done by April 15th. What do you recommend to work and recover the payment that has not been paid? Not sure of a Demand letter or Mechanics Lien on property, we are in Texas.
TexasWe are a mechanical contractor, we do HVAC
We have a situation with one of our customers.
Builder, for new construction. They have several homes and their account is currently past due. In one their jobs on of our sucobtractors (they're insured) they made a mistake and some damages needed to get fixed. The problem is that out customer said he was going to send us the documentation so we could open a claim with the insurance. The never did that and now they are just trying to substract 12K from all the open invoices they have.
My question is, can we file a lien for one of their houses, since the amount matches with one of their jobs.
Texasneed to file a mechanical lien
TexasOur customer is not paying us and the job is for an Air Force base. My understanding we can only file if there is a bond? If not, do we we send our customer to collections then file civil suit for the 30% collection fess?
Thanks
TexasJNA Painting was working on the Irving City Hall. I have sent notices and an Intent to Lien. They are now ready for a lien to be filed but since this is a Bonding/Surety job am I supposed to do something different?
TexasWe are GC, and we send progress and final lien waivers to our subcontractors with their payment. The lien law change about notarizing lien wavers, is it the contract entered after 1.1.2022 between GC and homeowner or is it GC and subcontractor? Or both?
TexasLooking for attorney in San Antonio area to handle enforcement of lien for 5 apartment complexes in San Antonio as well as filing suit against the prime contractor to recover amounts owed above the lien amounts.
Also, once a lien has been filed, can the amount of the lien be changed based on miscalculations or other administrative errors?
TexasBuilder in Texas - Tilson put mechanical's lien on the lot for the cost of the future house before the date of the planned start. They never built the house, increased the price $6500.00 above the contract price 2/2 increases in prices/?/. I lost almost 11K due to all the preparations they wanted me to do like clearing the lot, water and electricity service, septic permit, survey, deposit for the builder and HOA and etc. I would like to sell the lot and called them with question why I have that lien on the lot. The answer - we had cost with your plans and with the crew that was checking the lot. We were waiting for seven months for them to start building, they kept loosing documents that we had signed again and again. We sold house in San Antonio and were loosing money paying rent while waiting. Finally I sent the letter cancelling the contract since my husband was very sick with bone marrow cancer and we had to buy some house to be free from dealing with that builder and take care of my husband disease and let him enjoy the new house for a while while he is still alive. What am I supposed to do? How force them to release that lien?
TexasWe are a subcontractor filing a lien for 2 properties completed for Barrow Builder Group in Texas. They have a partial balance due for retainage on each. A non-optional question to complete asks "Identify All months When You Furnished Services For Which Payment is Claimed". The retainage was held from the 1st payment forward. That would have started the purchasing of materials, etc. Should I list all of the months through the final month last delivered?
TexasWe installed a roof tarp for a customer and have not been paid for it. We sent a notice of intent to the customer, but I wanted to make sure we could file a lien for this service before I proceed.
TexasWe were wondering if we could pass along the out of pocket expenses in addition to the outstanding balances due?
