Our online inquiry process is easy, efficient, and popular with clients. Most routine tasks – consultations, document preparation, entity formations, and even payment – may now be handled entirely online, supplemented by an optional phone or video call. No appointment is needed to begin the process. Turn-around time is usually one to two business days from the time we receive all necessary information, copies of documents, and payment from the client.

In-office consultations and services are suspended for the duration of the pandemic. We are currently available for online services only.
We DO offer one and two-hour consultations on real estate law, business law, and asset protection at flat fees. Consultations are offered with the understanding that our firm is not obligated to accept or handle the case going forward. View our consultation fees and process.
We DO handle document preparation for a wide range of Texas real estate transactions, both residential and commercial. Our clientele includes hundreds of real estate investors.
We DO represent clients in the entire transaction (from contract through closing) in the purchase, sale, and leasing of residential and commercial real estate in Texas. Our attorney is also a real estate broker, a significant advantage. We do NOT offer representation on just parts of a transaction.
We DO handle general business and contract law, including contracts for the purchase and sale of Texas businesses.
We DO offer legal review/comment on contracts and transactional documents prepared by professionals (attorneys or realtors) but NOT on DIY or Internet documents.
We DO focus on asset protection, including formation of traditional LLCs and series LLCs in both Texas and Nevada, partnerships and joint ventures, and a variety of investor trusts and living trusts. We also assist those who are seeking protection of assets from litigation and judgments.
We DO handle real estate and business litigation on a selective basis with an adequate retainer, clear liability, a solvent defendant, and at least $50,000 in damages. No contingency cases.
We do NOT handle construction law, zoning law, or HOA law; oil and gas; bankruptcy or other federal court matters; probate of wills and estates (except for affidavits of heirship and deeds curing title); securities law; divorce or family law; patent or copyright law; immigration; insurance law; or tax law. All of these are matters for other specialists.
We are NOT a title company so we do not search title records, escrow funds, conduct closings, or issue title policies. We do NOT handle, hold, or distribute client or case funds.
We do NOT offer tax, bookkeeping, accounting, or investment advice. Always consult a qualified tax and/or investment advisor in conjunction with seeking legal advice.
We do NOT assist clients in doing their own legal work.
All inquiries, new clients, and new cases are processed exclusively by means of the Client Inquiry Form. Please provide a concise summary of your case so we can determine if there is a good match between your legal issue and the professional services we provide. When and where do events occur? Who is involved? Is the case residential or commercial? Is litigation pending? What is the dollar amount? Also, what is the goal of your inquiry – a consultation? Document preparation? LLC formation or other asset protection measure? We need basic information but ask that you please limit your explanation to around 200 words.
If you know what legal service you need, and that service is among those we offer, we are ready to respond promptly. Just choose the item from our comprehensive fee schedule and make payment, which then places your file in our queue. Note that we do not create a file or download attachments until payment is made (see payment options). Let us know if you would like a no-obligation itemized statement before we begin. If you’re uncertain if we handle a particular type of case, don’t hesitate to ask.
Your inquiry is confidential. Our reply will be in the form of preliminary comments (not a formal consultation or legal opinion) which may come from a legal assistant or one of our qualified associated attorneys. Cases are accepted or declined in our discretion. Our posted terms of service apply to all clients.
Our attorney’s availability is limited, so fees apply beyond our initial response.
Thank you for your inquiry. We look forward to resolving your legal issues.
All inquiries, new clients, and new cases are processed exclusively by means of the Client Inquiry Form, NOT by phone or in the office. For online security reasons (persistent hacking attempts) we do not open online inquiries that are sent directly to our firm’s email address. Our main phone is (713) 621-3100 – but again, we require that the Client Inquiry Form be used for your initial contact. Our fax number is (832) 201-5321. Business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, holidays excepted. This is how we define a business day for purposes of turnaround. Evening and weekend emails are considered received the next business day. For our address, see Location.
