Real attorney representation for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers filing a mechanics lien in Texas. Flat fee, no hourly billing, and service in every Texas county.
A large share of the lien filings advertised online are prepared by document-processing services, not law firms. Those services will type up a form and mail it to the county clerk, but they cannot give legal advice, cannot analyze whether you actually have lien rights on a particular project, and carry no professional responsibility for the outcome. When the filing is defective, they are gone — and you are left holding an unsecured claim against a party who already isn't paying.
Texas Lien Law Firm, PLLC is different. Every filing is prepared and reviewed by a bar-licensed Texas attorney who is accountable to the State Bar for the work. That means your role on the project, your contract dates, your notice obligations, and your affidavit deadlines are all analyzed before anything is filed — not discovered after the lien is challenged.
The reason this matters is Chapter 53 of the Texas Property Code. Its deadlines are unforgiving, and its notice requirements differ depending on whether you are an original contractor, a subcontractor, or a supplier, and whether the project is residential, commercial, or public work. A defective lien affidavit can be challenged, removed by summary motion, or simply fail to secure your claim — and if the defect surfaces after the deadline has passed, the lien remedy may be lost entirely.
A flat fee makes real attorney review accessible. You get the analysis, the preparation, and the accountability of a licensed Texas lawyer for one predictable price — without an hourly meter running.
The Texas mechanics lien process is procedural and deadline-driven. We manage the entire sequence — you provide the project facts, we handle the rest.
We start with your role on the project, your contract, and your payment history to pin down every Chapter 53 deadline that applies to you.
Where notices are required, we prepare and serve them correctly — and on time — to protect your right to file.
Your lien affidavit is drafted by a licensed attorney to satisfy what a court will later look at, not just what the form asks.
We file with the county clerk where the property sits and handle the notices required after filing.
As the original contractor, you generally have the most direct path to a lien — no pre-lien notices in most cases — but the affidavit deadline still runs, and retainage and change-order disputes complicate the timing. We pin down your deadlines and prepare the filing.
Second-tier subcontractors carry the heaviest notice burden: specific pre-lien notices in specific months, on top of the affidavit deadline. A single missed monthly notice can cost you the lien entirely. We track the calendar for you.
Materials you furnished to the project can secure a lien, but your notice obligations turn on when you first furnished and to whom you sold. We analyze your invoices and send what's required, when it's required.
