Texas law does allow you to file mechanic's liens "based on" oral contracts.. Texas has a lot of law that helps protect the service industry with liens, but with more law comes more confusion.

Tax Lien priority in foreclosure?

Well it depends on what type of Tax lien we are talking about. But first rule of thumb, liens have priority based on Irs Tax liens are prioritized like most other liens, by date of recordation. Actually IRS liens can fall further down the list based on when perfected.....but all in all, IRS tax liens do not supercede other legal liens State Tax Liens can superced tax liens depending upon State laws but stilll are subordinate to all other previously filed legal liens. Property Tax liens take priority over all liens, regardless or recordation, perfection, etc. Think of it this way, when you buy property, property taxes are an inherent obligation that attaches as soon as the ink on the deed is dry. There's no attorney on earth that can record a mortgage lien that fast!

Is a property in Texas legally protected against all liens with a homestead?

No. Texas has one of the broadest homestead exemptions in the United States, but it's not protection against all liens. Mechanics' Liens for work done on the homestead, for example, are allowed, and the lienholder of a valid mechanics' lien can even force the sale of the property to pay the debt, as can the federal government for debts owed to it (such as income taxes).If you really need to know if the homestead exemption protects you from a particular type of lien, you should consult an attorney familiar with Texas law.
