What Texas Law Requires

Texas Property Code §53.284 — the form has to be exact.

Four statutory forms, no substitutes

Texas requires four specific lien waiver types: conditional/unconditional for both progress and final payments. Modifying the language — even slightly — can invalidate the waiver and hold up your draw.

Advance waivers don't hold up

Texas doesn't allow advance lien waivers. That means you need the right waiver collected at the right time, for the right payment — every time. Not a blanket form you collect once and file away.

COIs are standard practice on every job

Texas doesn't mandate a specific insurance minimum at the state level, but every GC enforces COI requirements contractually. An expired certificate mid-project puts you on the hook for your sub's liability.

W-9s before the first check

Federal law requires a W-9 from any sub you pay $600 or more in a year. Texas construction moves fast — SubPaperz collects W-9s digitally so you're never scrambling at tax time.

We're not lawyers — this is general information, not legal advice. Talk to a Texas construction attorney for guidance specific to your situation.

Sound familiar?

Every Texas GC has been here. It doesn't have to keep happening.

💸

You used a conditional waiver when you needed unconditional — and your draw got rejected.

Texas has four forms for a reason. The wrong one at the wrong time means your payment gets held up while you scramble to fix it.

⚠️

Your sub's COI lapsed in the middle of a job and nobody caught it.

In Texas, that liability lands on you. One incident without a valid COI can cost more than every job you've done this year.

📧

You're still chasing W-9s and PDFs by email at 10pm.

Your subs are on job sites all day. Hunting down paperwork after hours shouldn't be part of your business model.
