WARNING: FILING A MECHANIC’S LIEN REQUIRES LEGAL SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE. THERE IS MUCH MORE TO FILING A MECHANIC’S LIEN THAN SIMPLY FILING AN AFFIDAVIT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE AND/OR TEXAS CONSTITUTION BY A CLAIMANT MAY RESULT IN LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LICENSED TEXAS ATTORNEY BEFORE DRAFTING, PREPARING, OR FILING ANY DOCUMENT THAT WILL AFFECT THE TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY, SUCH AS A MECHANIC’S LIEN AFFIDAVIT OR RELEASE OF LIEN.
THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED AS REQUIRED BY SEC 81.101(c) OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. NOTHING ON THIS WEBSITE OR PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE CONSIDERED LEGAL ADVICE OR PRACTICE OF LAW. THIS IS SOLEY PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.

As you can see, simply drafting a lien claim can be very technical. One mistake can create an invalid claim or encumber the wrong property! No one should ever draft and file a claim unless they understand all the requirements for the affidavit and procedures under the Texas Property Code and after consulting with a licensed Texas Attorney. Please get in touch with us for a free referral to an attorney who can assist you.
We (Foster & Morris, LLC) are not a law firm. We will provide a referral at no charge to anyone requesting one to a licensed attorney specializing in mechanic’s liens.
