Eligibility for Filing a Mechanic's or Materialman's Lien in Texas

According to the Texas Property Code, several parties are entitled to file a mechanic's or materialman's lien claim. These include any individual or company that provides labor or materials for a construction or improvement project, parties who fabricate materials specifically for a project, and design professionals such as architects or engineers.

Types of Liens Under Texas Law

Texas law recognizes two main types of liens: the constitutional lien and the statutory lien.

Constitutional Lien: This type of lien arises automatically for any party in a direct contractual relationship (privity of contract) with the property owner who provides goods used in improving the property.
Statutory Lien: Subcontractors and others who are not in direct contract with the property owner do not have a constitutional lien. Instead, they must file a lien affidavit under Chapter 53 of the Texas Property Code to create a statutory lien and secure their lien rights.

It is recommended that all potential lien claimants—including those with constitutional lien rights—file a statutory lien. This is because constitutional liens do not extend to, nor are they enforceable against, future owners of the property.
