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. At the Law Offices of T. Rick Frazier, we don't charge a percentage and when we make the debtor pay your claim (and we almost always do), we collect and refund to you in full any fees you have paid.
We have a reputation of great service and will work hard to maintain your confidence in us and get you paid in the process.

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.
Because this is quite simply the ultimate hammer that will force the property owner to pay you (or to see that you are paid).
All too often, we see cases where a contractor or subcontractor has performed the work as requested, on time and in a workmanlike manner, yet the invoices for the work go unpaid, or only partially paid.

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.
To enforce your claims in a case involving a bonded project, a lawsuit must be filed against the bonding company.
If you, as claimant, are anything other than a natural person, you must retain a licensed attorney to represent you in court, unless you are in a Justice Court whose jurisdiction is limited to $10,000.

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.
A mechanic's lien is a powerful tool protecting those who provide and/or supply materials to a construction project even if you had no direct relationship with the owner of the property.
