I work for a GC in Texas. We had a very problematic subcontractor on multiple projects, that we finally terminated his contract, and paid him everything that was owed, including retainage. We have the Unconditional Final Waivers for each project from this subcontractor. We recently received a call from a debt collector in Washington that claims the subcontractor has an outstanding debt for equipment rental. The subcontractor did give the equipment rental company a promissory note, that he has since reneged on. We never received any lien notices from the equipment rental company while this subcontractor was on-site, so this is all a big surprise. The debt collector is claiming we must pay the outstanding amount or liens will be placed on two different projects. Is this true or just a typical scare tactic of the debt collector attempting to collect the debt? ...Read More

We are a millwork company acting as a sub on a new construction contract. Millwork won't happen until next summer most likely. We have another sub doing stone countertops, with a quote that can't be locked in. As material prices soar, the contract price is increasingly unlikely to cover the material costs, but the GC isn't open to cost increases (it is a city contract). Do I have the option to back out of this contract ? I have done the engineering work (shops and samples) but I haven't billed them anything....Read More

TexasConstruction Contract
Hello, A client is holding off payments for the following reasons: 1) He wants us to finish a small list of final items prior to partly paying an invoice (not the final invoice) 2) He wants us to replace some tile in his bathroom floor that has some damage. We have offer to replace the tile, but he doesn't want to do this until after the holidays (in at least 30 more days) 3) He has moved in and wants to spend the holidays and then send us an additional punch list after the holidays 4) He wants to add items that were not in his scope of work and he feels that because his project was expensive we should work on these items for free 5) He says he may, next year, want to tear his balcony that was fully finished 8 months ago and instead of having drains make a slope for water to drain to the side of the balcony. 6) He wants a licensed electrician and plumber to sign off on his job. We did not use a licensed plumber, but everything in his house is working properly. We did not use permits for his project. My question is, are any of the above legal reasons for him to not pay us? ...Read More

I have a lien placed on a house which was listed for sale yesterday. I am considering contacting the Real Estate Agent to see if she can help getting the balance paid. Any downside to this? Is there any additional action(s) I should take in the meantime or should I just wait for the house to go under contract? I'm guessing they can't transfer title until the lien is released. The house has a mortgage, but to my knowledge there are no other lien holders....Read More

TexasLien Foreclosure
Dealing with an estate property in San Antonio, Texas. Found out there was a lien on the house from the title company. The work in question was performed/completed in July 2015. The affidavit of lien was filed on 26 November 2018 (3 years after the work). Furthermore, no enforcement of the lien was ever initiated on the lien. Is this lien still valid? Thank you in advance....Read More

I am trying to file the lien myself and then will serve it to the client. The county clerk is saying my “affidavit of lien for a General Contractor” isn’t for a mechanic’s lien.
