Payment and retainage is still not being paid and they are telling me it wont until the law suit with another subcontractor is finished. I need guidance and a local lawyer in Texas to help me.
You really do need to retain a construction attorney to evaluate your documents and situation and to provide advice. The guidance will be tailored to whatever your situation is.
Good luck.
Are there any Attorney's on here that practice in Houston or Dallas?
I am located in Dallas.
If you like, you can email me your unpaid invoice and contract, and I will briefly review them at no charge to gauge where you are.

Here are five pointers to help you have a good time and (hopefully) a successful outcome.
Prepare yourself.
Be specific.
Be truthful.
Request clarification.
Keep them updated.
