While you can file one yourself using the statutory forms you get at Office Max or Staples, I don't recommend it. That can cost you thousands of dollars in attorney fees if you make even one error that the other party makes a big deal out of. Hiring an attorney won't cost you anything in the end if Texas law allows you to collect attorney fees if you file a legitimate lien (I believe it does). Contact your local Bar Association to see which attorneys in your area offer free consultations.

The best way to file a lien is to take or send the loan paperwork to the DMV. From there, they will file a lien and send you a new title with the lienholder on it.

What is a real estate vendors lien in Texas?

A real estate vendor's lien in the state of Texas is a type of lien put on a building project. If the contractor doing the work on a person's home defaults to his/her creditors, a lien can be put on projects that he has already completed or projects that are still in process. This means that the owner of the property where the project was done, has to pay the lien before they can sell the property. Then, the property owner has to sue to get the contractor to pay them back.

How do you file a claim or lien against a company who did not pay the account payables?

You can't just file a valid lien against a company. You have to have a statutory right to a lien on specific property. Therefore, unless you made improvements to their real estate, or did work on their vehicle, or are their attorney, or provided medical services, the only way you can claim a valid lien is to first sue the company and obtain a judgment. Then the judgment can be a lien against the company's real estate and you can also execute against its assets.
