Construction Lien Law in Texas: Texas Mechanic’s Liens

 
The mechanics' lien laws in Texas are complex. The applicable law is determined by whether the project on which the claim is made is a public project (State or Federal) or a private project (residential or commercial), and what type of payment bond, if any, has been provided. In the case of private ownership, the Texas Property Code is applicable. Where the Owner is the State of Texas, a local state governmental entity, subdivision or agency, the former McGregor Act, now Texas Government Code Chapter
2253 is applicable. Federal government projects are governed by the Miller Act, 40 U.S.C.A. beginning at Section 3131, formerly Section 270a.
