Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Re: default on commercial lease contract

You have many options to recover your money. If any of the tenant's property is still on premises, you may have a lien against the property. You can also sue for declaratory judgment and breach of contract to recover the rent owed under the lease agreement plus recover attorney's fees incurred in obtaining the judgment. Once you have a judgment, it can be abstracted and a lien filed against real property the tenant owns.

This is just a small overview of your remedies but there are lots of options. I hope this helps and if you need any help, please feel free to call my office.
