Contractor Legal Advocate represents subcontractors on outstanding contract sums and retainage. We issue formal written demands, cite the Texas statutes that govern payment, and start the clock.
Correspondence from this office is issued after review of the job, the billed amount, and the time outstanding. It is not a reminder invoice.
Project, general contractor, retainage or contract sum, date billed, and last communication — documented before a letter goes out.
The letter identifies the subcontractor we represent, states the amount and how long it has been outstanding, and cites the applicable Texas payment and lien statutes.
Payment is demanded by a stated deadline — typically thirty days from the date of the letter. That date is the close of the voluntary-resolution window.
Mechanic’s lien, referral to licensed Texas counsel for formal action, and notice to the Texas Attorney General where the facts support it.
If you received a demand, treat it as a file that needs a written close. Confirm the job. If it has been paid, send the proof. If it has not, give a date. If you dispute the amount, say so with the backup — not a status that cannot be verified.

This office acts for subcontractors. If retainage or contract sums owed to you are past due and you want a formal demand issued, write the same address with the job name, the amount, the date billed, and the last response you received.
Put the project name in the subject line. Attach proof of payment or the documentation that supports your position. Telephone statements are not the record; confirm them here.
