Texas construction disputes turn on the Property Code’s mechanic’s and materialman’s lien statutes, prompt-pay rules, residential construction liability notice requirements, and chapter 150 certificates of merit against licensed design professionals. Public jobs add Government Code bonding and bid-protest rules.
Construction is not a standalone TBLS specialty; many practitioners are board-certified in Civil Trial Law or Real Estate Law.
Common Questions
How long do I have to file a mechanic’s lien in Texas?
Deadlines are short and differ for original contractors, subcontractors, and residential vs. commercial jobs. Missing a notice or filing date can forfeit lien rights.
Does Texas require a certificate of merit in construction lawsuits?
Suits against licensed architects, engineers, and certain other design professionals often require a third-party certificate of merit at filing under CPRC Chapter 150.
