Relating to certain deadlines and other timing factors affecting mechanic's, contractor's, or materialman's liens.
HB 4984 amends Texas Property Code to adjust deadlines and clarify timing for construction liens held by contractors, mechanics, and suppliers. It extends deadlines for filing notices or taking action to the next business day if they fall on a weekend or legal holiday. The bill also specifies that the date a lien is recorded determines its priority over other liens and that the lien is invalid against property buyers who acquired the property before the lien was recorded. These changes directly affect contractors, suppliers, and property owners involved in construction projects.
