(a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), an attempted waiver of a provision of this chapter is void.
(b) A written contract between an owner and a contractor for improvements to or construction of a single-family residence may provide that the payment required under Section 28.002(a) be made not later than a date that occurs before the 61st day after the date the owner receives the payment request.
