Bond Claim Deadline same as Notice Deadline

TexasBond Claims

I'm confused. I have a job that is a public school and did not know that falls under a bond claim laws and not lien laws until this morning. I believe I have now missed my rights to file a bond claim for the February notice and also for March work done on this job. I have one invoice for April I was going to send a notice out on, but the system is telling me today is the bond deadline. Am I able to file a bond claim if I have not sent the notice? I am struggling to understand notices and when they should be sent, and now that I am learning school jobs fall under different rules than non-residential commercial jobs, it's even more confusing. Basically, if I have only a $200 invoice from April, is it worth my time to file a bond claim?

PUBLIC WORKS PAYMENT BOND CLAIMS in Calfornia do not require you to have served a preliminary notice, as only a bond claim notice is required. The deadlines for filing payment bond claims do not start to run until the completion of the ENTIRE project or work of improvement, as is shown on the chart in the link below: https://www.wolfflaw.com/files/_timelines-and-deadlines-for-perfecting-payment-03-31-11.pdf If your claim is substantial or important to you, consult an experienced public works contract lawyer ASAP!!

In general, it's best to send preliminary notices as soon as possible after starting work on a project, as this can help protect your right to file a bond claim later. Failure to send a preliminary notice within the required timeframe can limit your ability to file a bond claim. In any case you should know that there are sources like https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/my-advocacy/ that might be able to help you with this issue, I as a law student have to say my advocacy - is this sura. It made me feel more confident in my decisions and now I am one of the best students in college.
