If I file a mechanic’s lien in Texas and the customer doesn’t pay within that year, can I re-file it year after year to keep him from selling the house until the invoice is paid?
TexasHeres a scenario..
If the customer owes $1500 for a job performed and only pays $500, what is the “lien amount”?
Do I place what is owed overall or the remaining balance amount of what is owed?
Texascustomer is refusing to pay me job was 98% completed all but a door that they knew was a few out and every attempt to locate possible replacement was made to no avail. Job was build 150 ft of fence and demo 52ft of fence and build a 10x12 shed with certain additions to it. Owners last told me that they wanted their home inspector to inspect it before they would make payment and of course their paid inspector came back and said there were all kind if issues and work was substandard job was in city limits and was permitted I verbally informed them of intent to file and was sent a email stating that I am to cease and desist any further communication with then or they would file harassment charges with local law enforcement

TexasI received a notice of intent to file a mechanics lien against my property 10 months after work was completed. I believe my old property manager paid the bill and am actively trying to clear it up but it’s been hard to reach them. In the meantime, is this contractor’s threat to file a mechanics lien even valid? The work was completed in Dec 2020. The notice of intent to file a lien was only sent 11/23/2021

TexasThis repair was made to the home through a property management company. We made several attempts to collect from the property management company but they said it was the responsibility of the homeowner. We reached out to the homeowner several times, but to no avail. She admits the repair was completed, along with the documentation from the city. Please advise if I can file a lien on this property. The last work was performed on 2/19/2020
TexasIs it worth it to file a lien to collect $287? If The other party did not sign the estimate or invoice, are they still responsible to pay the $287?

TexasI am a mechanic trying to get the money that is owed to me
TexasWe receive many unconditional waivers to sign before they will release payment, which I believe in incorrect. However, if the waiver does not state whether it is conditional or unconditional, I am trying to figure out if the wording of the waiver will tell me which it is. Many of the waivers have the wording "The undersigned lienor, in consideration of the sum of hereby waives and releases it's lien and right to claim lien through ". Would this be an unconditional waiver?
TexasWe were hired by a subcontractor of the GC to do some demo work. This person has not paid, and we considered a lien against the project, however we were told that a claim against the bond would be a much better move. We know the GC has a bond but are not sure about the subcontractor that hired us.
TexasWe have done work and not got paid.
TexasWe were General Contractors on a new driveway ramp, stem wall, entry way steps, and ADA parking ramp for a commercial property. After completion of the job the tenant refused to submit our invoices to the landlord until multiple additional change orders were completed. We tried to request the landlord be present at a meeting with the tenant, but he did not send the request to the landlord. It wasn't until communication broke down that we were able to find out who the landlord was but have not received any communication from the tenant or the landlord since we sent a summary of a mediated meeting. Neither the landlord nor tenant are responding to communication attempts. We are going to put a lien on the commercial property, but a fellow contractor suggested we file a Foreclosure Lien as well. Is this something we can do on a commercial property and if so, how do we go about filing this in Travis County in Texas? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and help during this difficult time.
