Although I am not licensed in Texas, I have extensive knowledge and experience in real estate law and can provide you with general advice about your issue. In a nutshell and without knowing the particular details of your transaction with this older gentleman, you will ultimately need to obtain a legal document from him conveying title to the property into your name.

Are title company's law firms?
Going through real estate transaction and trying to understand.
George O.
No, but they can be fee offices, which means the law firm has entered into a contract with a title company to handle closings on behalf of the title company.

Does Texas have any specific real estate rules?
I am moving from California and wanted to see if there is anything I should know.
George O.
Like any state, Texas does have rules specific to transactions occurring within its state lines. For example, the Texas Property Code governs most real estate matters, along with Landlord/Tenant matters. However realtors and transactions of that nature are governed by the Texas Occupations Code, which seems odd, but that is how it is.

What is a triple net lease?
I want to understand these better.
George O.
A triple net lease designates the tenant (lessee) as having the sole responsibility for any and all costs associated to the asset being leased in the agreement, with those costs being the net real estate taxes on the leased asset, net building insurance, and net common area maintenance. The lease received its name from the three “net” fees and may also be called a Net-Net-Net Lease.

Should I use a lawyer for commercial lease?
It is a very long lease and I'm not sure what it says. I also don't want to pay a fortune to have it reviewed to eat into my budget.
George O.
Yes! Before signing any contract/agreement/lease, or anything that appears to be a binding agreement, it is worth the money to have a lawyer review it. I charge a flat fee to review any and all agreements, so my clients know up front what they are paying, and they consider it a cost of doing business. The alternative, i.e. not having a lawyer review your agreements prior to signing, can be, and usually is, exponentially more expensive should a conflict arise (and they often do).
