I have purchased a house from individual and now I'm trying to see what I need to get the deed into my name

I purchase a house for $7,500 from an older gentleman that I work with and it's been 2 months since I've paid it off and I still haven't received any kind of paperwork to get the date in my name from him so now I'm trying to get it started what do I need to do

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.

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.

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.

Answered May 12, 2021

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.

Commercial Lease

Texas

Asked on May 12, 2021

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.

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).
