Understanding your rights
A construction lien is a powerful statutory remedy—but only when each required step is completed accurately and on time.
Article XVI, Section 37 of the Texas Constitution protects mechanics, artisans, and materialmen for the value of labor or materials furnished to improve property. Chapter 53 of the Texas Property Code supplies the detailed notice, affidavit, filing, and enforcement framework used in practice.
Original contractors contracting directly with an owner, plus subcontractors, suppliers, laborers, and certain design professionals, may qualify. A claimant’s contract tier matters because derivative claimants must satisfy notice requirements before their lien rights mature.
Residential projects carry shorter deadlines and additional statutory protections. Homestead work can require a written contract signed by both spouses and filed before work begins. Commercial claims generally have longer notice and affidavit windows, but precision remains essential.
Section 53.052 controls affidavit timing; §53.054 prescribes affidavit contents. Sections 53.056 and 53.057 address notices for unpaid labor, materials, and retainage. The sequence and recipients differ for original and derivative claimants, and mailing evidence should be preserved.
