Houston is #2 in U.S. housing permits and leads commercial construction spend. Searchers type “20-day notice” — Texas does not run CA’s 20-day clock. Houston jobs run monthly fund-trapping notices under Tex. Prop. Code §53.056.
A Harris County sub who waits for a California-style 20-day window can miss a month of work. Original contractors have their own notices. We calendar the 15th day of the second month after indebtedness and draft that month’s notice.
Texas fund-trapping notices for many subs and suppliers are monthly: the 15th day of the second month after the indebtedness accrues (§53.056). Original contractors have their own notices. Miss a month and that month’s work is unsecured. We run the monthly clock.
