Contractors’ liens filed for Chesapeake’s non payment show up as claims against land owners

It depends on the wording of your state’s lien statue. In Texas, the owners are not responsible for the lien debt. All that can happen in Texas is they could foreclose the lien against CHK’s lease interest. We have had to file liens due to CHK’s non-payment of contractors, but they seem to have gotten better about paying. None got to the lien foreclosure stage.
