Never lose your right to get paid.
Texas requires a notice for every unpaid month, or that month's lien rights disappear. NoticeClock tracks the deadlines and mails the notice for you.

The trap
The deadline expires before it feels like a problem.
April
You do the work.
May
You invoice.
Net 30. No worries.
June
Still no payment.
Feels normal. Most contractors wait 30+ days.
Jul 15
Deadline to protect April's money.
Feels too early to make a fuss. It isn't.
August
Now it feels like a problem.
Your April lien rights died three weeks ago.
Missed notices are the #1 cause of construction payment losses. Not carelessness: the deadline lands while “it's probably fine” still feels true.
3 clocks
April, May, and June unpaid = three separate deadlines. A recurring clock, not a one-time filing.
82%
of contractors wait 30+ days to get paid. “Late is normal” is exactly why notices get forgotten.
~$64K
average loss from one missed notice deadline. The biggest single cause of payment losses.
Texas Property Code §53.056: notice by the 15th day of the third month after each unpaid work month, to the owner and the original contractor, for non-residential work.
The leverage
No notice, no lien.
No lien, no leverage.
You have no contract with the property owner, only with your GC.
A mechanics lien is your only leverage: a legal claim on the building itself.
Texas requires a notice every month you go unpaid to keep that right alive.
Property owner
Holds the money, and the building
General contractor
The only one you have a contract with
You
Sub or supplier. You did the work
How it works
Your part takes 30 seconds a month.
Other tools wait for you to log in. NoticeClock asks first, every month, because forgetting is how notices get missed.

FAQ
The questions everyone asks. We asked them too.
“I've never sent these and I've been fine.”
So has everyone, right up until the job where they weren't. Notices aren't for the nine jobs that pay. They're for the one that doesn't, and you can't tell which one that is in time. By the time a payment feels wrong, that month's deadline has usually passed. That's why big suppliers send on every job, mechanically.
“Won't the owner think I'm suing them?”
No lien is being filed. It's a standard statutory notice; commercial owners' payment teams file dozens of these a month. Every NoticeClock mailing includes a plain-English cover letter that says exactly that. What does shock an owner is a surprise lien from someone who never sent notices.
“My GC gives me steady work. This feels awkward.”
The supply houses your GC buys from have sent him monthly notices for decades, and he keeps buying. Their line is “it's our credit department's policy.” NoticeClock is your credit department: “our system sends these on every job, it's not about you.” You keep the relationship. The system takes the blame.
“What even is a mechanics lien? Do I already have one?”
It's a legal claim against the property you worked on, your leverage when payment stops. You don't have one automatically: in Texas you keep the right to file one only by sending monthly notices while unpaid. That right is what NoticeClock protects.
“My work ran from late April into early May.”
Legally that's two claims with two separate deadlines (July 15 and August 15). We split it correctly, and when in doubt, we protect under the earlier deadline.
“Sometimes I contract directly with the owner.”
Then no monthly notice is required on that job; the law only puts this burden on subs and suppliers. Register it anyway: we'll suppress notices and still track your lien filing deadline.
“How would I even find the owner's real mailing address?”
We help you pull the owner of record and their tax mailing address from county appraisal records, and you confirm it before anything mails. If your contract says something different, we can mail both.
“What if a deadline already passed?”
That month's lien rights are likely gone. Texas is unforgiving there, and honesty matters: we can't resurrect it. But every future month is still protectable, starting today. (That's usually the moment people stop doing this by memory.)
“What happens when I finally get paid?”
You mark it paid, the clock stops, and everyone moves on. Notices quietly expire; nothing to retract, no drama.
“Is this legal advice?”
No. NoticeClock is document preparation and deadline tracking, not a law firm. For disputes, talk to a construction attorney (we can point you to ones who handle this daily).
“Do you cover other states?”
Texas today. Florida and Arizona are next. Work somewhere else? Tell us where, and we'll email you the moment we're live in your state.
“What if I cancel?”
Month to month, cancel in two clicks. Your evidence vault (every notice, receipt, and tracking record) stays exportable. It's your legal record, not ours.
This month's 15th is coming either way.
