For the most part, all contractors, subcontractors, laborers, materials suppliers, and equipment suppliers who provide labor or materials to a property in Texas are not required to have a written contract (a verbal agreement is sufficient) to qualify for the right to file a lien.
But just because the lien expires does not mean that it is automatically removed from your property. You can remove a mechanics lien only by one of two ways: The contractor records a release of mechanics lien; or. You file a petition with the court to release the mechanics lien.

One-Year Statute of Limitations ? The original statute of limitations to foreclose on a mechanic's lien was one (1) year for residential projects and two (2) years for commercial projects. Now, it is one (1) year regardless of whether the project is commercial or residential.
Remedial Bonds Under Section 53.171 of the Texas Property Code: Under Section 53.171(c) of the Texas Property Code, a mechanic's lien can be discharged with a bond even after the dispute has arisen and the lien has been filed. The bond must be substantially higher than the lien amounts.
In Texas, the lien period is described as ?on the 15th day of the month three months after the last month the claimant performs work?. (Three months for residential, four for non-residential) The deadline to file a lien is not extended if the 15th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
