No Fixed GC-Side Payment Processing Window
Payment language lacks a fixed Contractor processing deadline.
What MillworkShield looks for
This is the business risk behind the clause.
Risk
Sub has no contractual payment-timing handle and must rely on Texas prompt-payment law.
Cleaner ask
Require payment within 7 days of Owner payment and no later than 60 days from proper application.
Reference context
AIA A401 and ConsensusDocs 750 specify payment timing; TX Property Code §28.002 supplies a statutory backstop.
