Texas changed mechanic's-lien notice timing for heavy vehicles

For vehicles a mechanic took possession of on or after September 1, 2021, Texas mechanic's-lien notices must include the proposed sale or disposition date where applicable. For vehicles of 16,000 lb gross weight or more, the notice may be filed within 30 days after repairs are completed or no later than the 30th day before the proposed sale date. Lighter vehicles keep the 30-day-after-completion deadline.
