In many cases, the proceeds from a stock breeder’s or stable keeper’s lien foreclosure sale will not be enough to satisfy your debt. In those cases, you may sue the owner for the deficiency, if any.
The law suit may not be worth it, however, as you could end up spending more on legal fees
Fortunately, unlike many states, Texas does not require lien holders to file suit or involve the courts in order to enforce the stable keeper’s lien—provided the enforcement provisions in the statute are precisely followed.
