Charts to Make Texas Lien and Notice Deadlines Easy

Texas is unlike any other state when it comes to calculating its lien and notice periods.   Instead of a lien being due after a certain number of days or months, Texas uses somewhat cryptic language to define the lien period:  “on the 15th day of the month four/three months after the last month the claimant performs work.”

WHAT!?!?

Well, to help you out, we’ve created some easy to read charts.   You can take one look at this chart and easily figure out when your lien should be filed.    Check out the Texas Lien Deadline Chart here, or the Texas Two and Three Month Notice Deadline Chart here.   These are housed in the Support section of ExpressLien.com‘s website.

But you don’t even have to go that far – you can see the charts right here on our blog:

* Original Contractors do not have notice requirements in Texas

** Two Month Notice must only be delivered by lower tier subcontractors and suppliers (i.e. those who did not contract with the original contractor)

*** If on a residential project, every deadline is one month earlier.

Remember, too, that you can keep track of project deadlines using our free Lien Pilot.
