David J. Willis is a board-certified Texas real estate lawyer providing comprehensive representation in Texas real estate transactions and Texas real estate closings, including creative devices such as Texas wraparound transactions, Texas land trusts, and seller-financed transactions. He also represents clients in Texas real estate litigation as a Dallas real estate lawyer, Houston real estate lawyer, Woodlands real estate lawyer, Austin real estate lawyer, and San Antonio real estate lawyer.

Since Mr. Willis is also a licensed real estate broker, a unique aspect of this practice is the availability of combined lawyer and broker services.

Mr. Willis is also a Texas asset protection lawyer and Texas limited liability company lawyer, utilizing Texas LLC’s Texas land trusts, and other devices to achieve anonymity, deterrence of lawsuits, and insulation from judgments. We recommend the new Texas series LLC which compartmentalizes assets and liabilities allowing the same company to hold multiple properties or businesses. Properties can then be deeded into the LLC.

Initial consultations are usually handled online, supplemented by phone and fax, although office appointments are available for more complex cases. Go to Contact Us and email your inquiry. You will receive a prompt response with preliminary comments and a confirmation that we handle your type of case.

Mr. Willis will review your paperwork, evaluate the case, explain options, and recommend a course of action. There are no artificial time limits on the consultation . . . we discuss the case thoroughly until legal advice and guidance are substantially complete. Reasonable follow-up questions are included.

Consultations fall into two categories:

Real Estate Law. At the initial consultation your documents are reviewed, the case is evaluated, options are explained, and a course of action is recommended. We need to see all your paperwork to effectively advise you! Documents and correspondence pertaining to your case should be emailed or faxed to (832) 201-5321. The fee is $150 for residential matters and $250 for commercial matters. Consult fees may be applied to certain flat fees for additional services.

Asset Protection Review. This is a good starting point if you are uncertain about what action to take to establish a business structure and/or defend assets. It includes a comprehensive analysis of your circumstances and goals with recommendations for action. The fee is $250 and is applied to subsequent fees if you decide to proceed with forming a company or trust.

Go to the Fees page for details. Fees quoted are for online services. It is more expensive to render legal services in the office. Accordingly, if you require in-office meeting(s), expect that flat fees will be an average of 10-15% higher.

Payment can be made by credit or debit card or by overnighted check. Go to Contact Us.
