Texas provides contractors with uniquely strong lien rights and prompt payment protections. The state’s Property Code enables rapid lien filings with powerful enforcement options. Texas’s Prompt Payment Act includes penalty provisions unavailable elsewhere, but procedural requirements demand precise compliance.
Texas gives subcontractors exceptional fund trapping rights and direct action capabilities against property owners. Subcontractors must maintain monthly notice compliance and follow specific procedures, but these rights provide tremendous leverage for payment recovery when properly executed.
Austin’s corporate campus projects often involve complex approval processes, multiple funding sources, and layered contractor relationships. These projects may have longer payment cycles and require specialized collection strategies that account for corporate procurement processes and institutional payment procedures.
Texas requires monthly notices from subcontractors, advance notice for lien filings, and prompt payment act compliance. Missing these deadlines can eliminate significant collection rights, so contracts and procedures must clearly establish notice requirements and timing.
University of Texas and other institutional projects often involve state funding, complex approval processes, and specialized payment procedures. These projects may require different collection approaches that account for institutional bureaucracy and public funding compliance requirements.
If payment delays exceed 60 days, debtors become unresponsive, or there are signs of financial distress, aggressive collection using Texas’s full legal framework often produces better results than extended negotiation. We evaluate each situation to recommend the most effective approach.
Collection timelines vary based on debtor cooperation and collection methods employed. Texas’s streamlined procedures often enable faster resolution than many states. Our 91% pre-litigation success rate typically achieves recovery within 30-90 days.
