Questions answered? Let's get started!

The Demand for Payment form is used by unpaid individual claimants to demand payment of their claim on an owner who is authorized to withhold funds under 53.083(a) of the Texas Property Code. The demand form also provides notice to the owner that all or part of the claim has accrued under Texas Code 53.053 or is past due under the agreement between the parties.

The claimant must also send a copy of the demand to the original contractor. If the original contractor intends to dispute the claim, he must give the owner written notice no later than the 30th day after the day he receives the copy of the demand. Failure to respond in a timely fashion implies approval of the demand and the owner must then pay the claim.

The Demand for Payment identifies the parties, the project, and relevant dates, services/materials, and fees. It is a required step in securing an eventual mechanic's lien on the owner's property if the claim remains unpaid after demand is sent.

The form does not require a notary seal or other verification, nor is it filed in the local land records. Instead, deliver the demand for payment via certified or registered mail, with a return receipt requested.

Each case is unique, and the mechanic's lien law in Texas can be complicated. Contact an attorney for complex situations, with specific questions about sending a demand for payment, or any other issue related to mechanic's liens.

Important: Your property must be located in Leon County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

This Demand for Payment meets all recording requirements specific to Leon County.

In a world where "immediate satisfaction" takes too long, Deeds provided exceptionally satisfying service. Answered all of my questions quickly, and had my document recorded within one day. Thank you so much!

It was easy to use the form. The notary said it contained the most recent language which is also helpful.

Great site and staff. I made a mistake and they helped me out when I probably didn't deserve it.

Reply from Staff

Thanks, Brandon. We were glad to cancel the order and refund your payment. Some property matters need more hands-on guidance than a self-prepared form can offer, and in your situation we’d recommend working with a local real estate attorney or title company going forward. We wish you the best with it.

I found the form I need and while they couldn't file it via the e-recording way I had a great experience. Fingers crossed all goes well when I go in to record. Thanks!

It was easy to download the form I wanted BUT there were 2 other options listed for "open/download." I didn't want to risk more charges for something I couldn't determine I needed so I passed them up. There were a few others listed with the option to "view" so I did that, without down-loading, and there were no additional charges. I would've liked that opportunity for 2 others that didn't offer "view" so maybe deeds.com missed a sale?

Thank you for your feedback Linda. All the documents available for download in your account are included with your payment, no additional charges.

The form was easy to fill out. The only problem I had was on the Notary page I live in a different state than the property and I couldn't change the name of the state or county where the notary had to sign.

You dont really know what your buying until after you spend the money. Cant use any of them

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback. Best practice is to know what you need before purchasing. Buying legal documents should not be a exploratory endeavor. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

There is not enough room on the form to describe my property which was taken directly from the previous deed. Other than that worked as expected.
