Great question and we assist roofing contractors with this issue all of the time. First, as a direct contractor (someone hired by the property owner), you
already have a self executed Texas Constitutional lien without even having to file a lien affidavit against the property. As such, even if you are not paid, you
are still protected by this type of lien unless the property is sold to a good faith purchaser (someone who is unaware of the debt) before the debt iSee More...

Stacie, if the supplier was paid for the materials incorporated into this project, then it does not have the right to maintain the lien. Second, as a material
supplier, the lien process and deadlines are very strict and as such, the lien may be invalid for that reason as well. I, Robert Lovein, am a board certified
construction attorney with Lovein Ribman. Please feel free to call me directly at 817 442-5106. Thank you.

has lien rights unless the direct contractor has a written contract with the property owner and if a married couple, both husband and wife have signed the
contract. Yes, you should always obtain a job information sheet so you know where the material is being delivered in the event you need to file a liSee More...
