I'm a General Contractor that did work on a large commerical project back in June and still have not gotten paid. I know the lien deadline is passed, what else can we do?
If you are a GC with a direct contract with the Owner on a commercial project, you have a constitutional lien which is set perfecting (i.e., there is no deadline). A constitutional lien is created as a matter of law and you can file a constitutional lien on the property at any time (with certain limits) and file suit to foreclose it. This is very different than a Chapter 53 Mechanic's & Materialman's lien. Consult an attorney to help do this.
Let a certified commercial collection agency licensed and bonded in Texas collect the debt on a contingency bases. This will cost you nothing upfront and the agency will only earn a small fee upon successfully collecting the account and depending on your contract, that fee can be added to the debt as ultimately cost you little to nothing to get your money. Let me know any questions as we are here to help. Best regards getting paid, Steve
