Contractors and subcontractors, suppliers and laborers, painters, carpet installers, builders, electricians, cleaners and demolishers who perform work and/or supply materials in Texas for construction, renovation, remodeling and repairing buildings, apartments, condos, houses and other structures, and who didn't get paid in full.
Many law firms want to charge you a percentage of the amount they recover - that is, a percentage of YOUR claim - and usually they want 33%, 40% or more? Other lawyers will handle your case, charging you on an hourly basis at rates of $300, $400, $500 or more per hour! This means you have to trade off several (or many) hours of hard work for each hour the lawyer spends trying to collect your claim.

The Texas construction lien laws, commonly referred to as "mechanics' lien laws", are not simple or easy for even the average lawyer to understand and follow, much less the typical contractor, subcontractor or supplier. But there are a number of issues and deadlines that must be followed to the letter in order to have a valid and enforceable construction lien.
Once your lien is perfected, it's time to enforce it. With the exception of public works and bonded projects, you must file a lawsuit seeking a judicial foreclosure of the lien. This means asking the court to enter an order allowing the real estate to be sold at public auction with the proceeds to be paid to all lienholders pro rata.
A: A lien is right imposed by law allowing a person to sell property belonging to another if a debt related to the property is not paid. The property basically serves as collateral for the debt. There are contractual liens such as the mortgage on your home or the loan against your vehicle. There are liens imposed by law with mechanic's liens being one of the most common.
