Digest
HB 3289 revises the Property Code to clarify what constitutes a "good faith dispute" in construction contract payments. The bill specifies that disputes unrelated to the specific construction contract in question—such as disagreements over separate contracts, work orders, or other financial arrangements between the parties—cannot be used as a reason to withhold payment. These provisions apply to contracts executed on or after September 1, 2025.
