Purchase and Sale Contract Review
Understand Your Real Estate Agreement Before Signing
A purchase agreement covers earnest money, the option period, financing, inspections, disclosures, closing and the consequences of default. We review it, explain the terms and prepare amendments when needed.
Important: The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) publishes standard contract forms, but using a standard form does not remove the need to understand its provisions.

Residential Closings and Title Matters
Address Legal Questions Before Ownership Transfers
Before closing, buyers and sellers may need to resolve title concerns, financing documents and recorded restrictions. A title commitment shows the conditions for issuing a title policy and may disclose liens, easements and restrictions.
We review these documents and give extra attention to ownership disputes, unresolved title issues or unusual financing.
Landlord and Tenant Matters
Leases, Property Rights and Disputes
We help landlords and tenants with lease preparation, review, negotiation and disputes over rent, maintenance, deposits and termination, as well as eviction and foreclosure matters.
Important: Texas law sets specific eviction procedures, including notice requirements and court filings. Review the lease and current law before taking action.
