File a lein at your state max usary rates. Think of it as a forced savings account. Then, when the title company calls you, you can play really hard to get to. I know, I have done this several times. I figured if the client was so stupid enough to try to screw me, I'm paying his a$$ back in spades. Might cost him the sale of his house, miss a low rate to refi, doesn't matter and I don't care. Most of them are Patels anyway.

Can you file a lien in Texas for service?

I believe I can do this in my state but she doesn't own her home she only rents it.

Check into it anyways. If you can file against the property it will at least make life hell for her when the property owner finds out. Might even get her evicted.
