El Paso Real Estate Lawyer — Deeds, Contracts, Leases and Title Work for a Flat Fee
Flat-fee real estate documents and title work for El Paso homeowners, buyers, sellers, investors and landlords — prepared by a Texas attorney, recorded with the El Paso County Clerk, and handled without a court appearance.
Last reviewed by Robert Andrew Navar, Esq. · State Bar of Texas
Real estate in El Paso is where most families keep the bulk of their wealth, and the paperwork behind it matters more than most people realize. A deed with the wrong legal description, a handwritten purchase agreement, a contract-for-deed that ignores the Texas Property Code, or a lease copied from the internet can cost far more to fix than it would have cost to do right. The Law Office of Robert Navar prepares and reviews deeds, purchase contracts, owner-financing packages, residential and commercial leases, and eviction notices for a flat fee quoted before we start, in English or Spanish.
Texas real estate law lives mostly in the Texas Property Code: Chapter 5 governs conveyances and executory contracts, Chapter 13 governs recording, Chapter 92 governs residential tenancies, Chapter 93 governs commercial leases, and Chapter 24 governs evictions. Layered on top are the homestead protections in Article XVI, Section 50 of the Texas Constitution and the TREC promulgated contract forms. None of the services in this practice group require you to appear in court. We draft, review, notarize and record documents with the El Paso County Clerk, and when a matter does need a filing, such as an eviction suit, we tell you exactly what that involves before you decide.

Common questions
Do I need a lawyer to transfer property in El Paso, Texas?
Texas does not require a lawyer to sign or record a deed, but it does require the deed to be correctly drafted, signed and acknowledged before a notary to be valid and recordable under Texas Property Code Chapter 12 and 13. A defective deed can cloud title for decades. An attorney-prepared deed costs a modest flat fee and is recorded with the El Paso County Clerk the same week.
Can a real estate lawyer replace a title company in Texas?
They do different jobs. A title company issues title insurance and handles escrow; an attorney drafts and reviews the contract, deed, note and deed of trust, explains what you are signing, and fixes title defects the title company flags. For family transfers, owner-financed sales and small deals in El Paso that never go through a title company, the attorney is often the only professional looking out for you.
Will I have to go to court for any of these real estate services?
No. Deeds, contracts, owner-financing documents, leases, lease reviews, title curative affidavits and eviction notices are all handled in our office and at the El Paso County Clerk without any court appearance. If a tenant ignores a notice to vacate, the next step is an eviction suit in a Justice of the Peace court, which is a separate matter we can discuss with you when the time comes.
