A very similar question was asked about a Texas situation…and as we saw above, Texas does require contracts be in writing. However, presuming that the subcontractor on the project has a written contract with someone, they can still file a lien even if they don't have a written agreement with the property owner.

To file a lien claim, you will need: The amount owed for each month you performed the work that remains unpaid. A brief description of the work you performed. The original contractor's name (general contractor) and mailing address (only if you are a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor).

The Writ of Possession allows for the possession of the property, after a deputy has posted written notice notifying the tenant a writ has been issued. By law, we are required to give a minimum of 24 hours notice before enforcing the writ.

Write the contract in six steps Start with a contract template. Open with the basic information. Describe in detail what you have agreed to. Include a description of how the contract will be ended. Write into the contract which laws apply and how disputes will be resolved. Include space for signatures.

Step 1: Find a Project. Find a project you want to bid on. Step 2: Carefully Examine the Bid. Carefully examine and be familiar with the bidding and contract documents, and bidder qualifications. Step 3: Visit the Site. Step 4: Prepare Your Bid. Step 5: Submit Your Bid. Step 6: Award of Contract.

Specify governing law. Identify the working relationship. Clearly define the scope of work. Specify what benefits, if any, the contractor will receive. Assign intellectual property. Include confidentiality clauses. Include a termination clause.
