Texas requires subcontractors and suppliers to send a Notice to Owner each month they have unpaid work — not just once at the start of the project. Miss the 15th-of-the-third-month deadline and that month's work is unsecured. Texas notice rules were modernized in 2022 (HB 2237). Subcontractors and suppliers — anyone not in direct contract with the property owner — must send Notice to Owner (and to the original contractor) for each month of unpaid work or materials. By the 15th day of the third month following the month the labor or materials were furnished, for second-tier and lower claimants. First-tier claimants on residential projects have shorter windows. Texas reformed its notice timelines effective January 2022 — the modern rule is the 15th-of-third-month deadline for most non-residential work.
