Q: How to get an unfair lein on my property released

I hired Lone Star Asphalt to lay asphalt on my 180 feet driveway. They rented equipment to do the job and never returned it. A mechanics lein was placed on my property because they used the stolen equipment to do the job.

A: You can file a proceeding under the Texas Property Code to have the lien removed. Or you can simply wait out the year to see if the lienholder files suit to foreclose on the lien.
