Texas HB4984 amends deadlines and timing factors for mechanic's, contractor's, and materialman's liens.

HB4984 modifies the Texas Property Code to adjust deadlines and timing factors for mechanic's, contractor's, and materialman's liens. It extends deadlines to the next non-weekend or holiday day if the original deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. The inception of a lien is now determined by the date of recording an affidavit of lien. A lien is not valid against a grantee or purchaser who acquired an interest before the lien's inception. The act takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, otherwise it takes effect September 1, 2025.
