Improper Liens
In the realm of aviation disputes, improper liens present significant challenges. Texas law demands strict adherence to statutory requirements for aviation liens. An improperly filed lien can lead to severe legal consequences, including slander of title claims and potential civil and criminal liability.
A lien must be filed correctly to be enforceable. This involves meeting specific requirements such as providing accurate descriptions of the property and the claimed amount, as well as timely filing within the statutory period. Failure to comply with these requirements can invalidate the lien and expose the filer to legal action for slander of title, which is a claim alleging that a false statement that disparages another’s property rights, potentially causing financial harm.
