The property manager indicated the Owner of the building was refinancing the building. However, they will not call me back after leaving numerous messages. The Owner has locked the tenant out for non-payment of rent and due to the Lien that we filed. Is there anything else we need to do to secure our funds due on construction? - Is this your question?

Generally for Claims of Lien or Mechanic's Lien, the recording of it is simply the first step. There is typically a time limit in which some type of foreclosure lawsuit will have to be filed, and that time limit will vary by each state. In California, the time limit is 90 days to file the foreclosure lawsuit, but in Texas the time limit may very well be longer. You should consult with a local attorney on this for specifics.
