    1. which secures payment or performance of an obligation for services or materials furnished with respect to goods by a person in the ordinary course of the person's business;
    2. which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and
    3. whose effectiveness depends on the person's possession of the goods.
  2. Priority of possessory lien.  A possessory lien on goods has priority over a security interest in the goods unless the lien is created by a statute that expressly provides otherwise.
