Fill in all blank fields before signing. In Texas, using a non-statutory form may void the waiver. No notarization required.
You have permanently waived your lien rights for that period. This is why conditional waivers exist — they protect you until payment actually clears. Never sign an unconditional waiver in exchange for a promise of payment.
