From: Gary L. Brown [mailto:GBrown@wsh-law.com] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2012 3:23 PM To: Tracye Subject: RE: [CLC-Discussion] Chapter 558 Notice of Defect I haven't read the statute in a while, but I believe that the owner simply needs to comply with notice to contractor in order to sue. So if the contractor doesn't respond, the owner only need wait the statutory period before filing its suit. Good luck.
