A mechanics lien in Texas works a bit differently than most lien laws. Generally, when a mechanic completes work on a car, they are granted a lien on the car. This lien allows the mechanic to collect money from the owner of the car for the work that was done. In Texas, however, mechanics do not have a general lien on cars. Instead, mechanics have a specific mechanics lien.
