Texas real estate law is the set of rules that governs how property is acquired, transferred, leased, and financed, and it also controls how ownership rights are recorded and enforced. Those rules determine what a purchase contract requires, what must be disclosed, how title is examined and insured, and how restrictions such as easements, deed restrictions, and HOA covenants can limit a property’s use, renovation plans, and long-term value.

 

Residential transactions can close quickly, but a poorly defined contingency, a missed performance deadline, or an unresolved title exception can create lasting consequences. Purchase contracts set inspection rights, repair obligations, closing conditions, risk allocation for property condition, and default remedies when a party fails to perform. The Plano residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC assist with contract analysis and drafting, title-related disputes and closing obstacles, entity structuring for residential investment ownership, and dispute strategy when problems emerge before or after closing.

Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

The Plano real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC advise businesses, investors, and developers on commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, financing coordination, and entity structuring for ownership and joint ventures. When a dispute arises, Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents owners, buyers, developers, and other parties in litigation involving purchase and sale agreements, leases and guaranties, and construction-related disputes affecting commercial properties.

Residential Purchases and Sales

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners in residential acquisitions and dispositions throughout the Plano area. The work commonly includes:

 

  • Reviewing and negotiating residential purchase and sale agreements
  • Drafting transaction-specific provisions
  • Coordinating contract performance
  • Preparing additional documentation tied to post-close agreements or residential leases

Title And Closing Support

Title is the legal record of ownership, and title insurance is issued at closing to protect against certain defects reflected in public records. In most transactions, the title company provides a title commitment, which lists the requirements that must be satisfied before closing and identifies the exceptions that the policy will not cover. When the commitment identifies liens, easements, restrictive covenants, survey inconsistencies, or record defects, the transaction can slow down, financing conditions can change, and the intended use of the property can be affected.

 

The Plano residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC work with clients and title companies to evaluate the commitment, obtain and review the underlying documents, and pursue curative steps aimed at clearing issues efficiently and documenting the resolution correctly.

Residential Leasing and Landlord Support

For many Plano-area owners and investors, residential leasing is an ongoing business operation and the lease becomes the primary document that protects revenue and defines expectations. A well-drafted lease addresses rent and payment mechanics, maintenance allocation, default remedies, renewal terms, and restrictions on assignment and subleasing, while also providing workable procedures for enforcement when problems arise.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists landlords and residential investors with lease drafting, lease review, renewals, and modifications designed to reduce future disputes and support enforcement when a default affects rent, access, or property condition.

Negotiating Ownership Structure for Investors

Residential investment properties are often held through family arrangements, partner relationships, or entity structures designed to manage liability and decision-making. When that structure is not documented carefully, routine disagreements over repairs, refinancing, leasing strategy, and timing of sale can become difficult to resolve.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists with entity formation and ownership documentation aligned with the investment plan, including operating agreements that address authority, ownership splits, capital contributions, transfer restrictions, and dispute resolution.

Construction Defect Litigation Involving Residential Properties

Defects can arise in new construction, additions, remodels, and major repairs, and they often present as water intrusion, building envelope failures, foundation movement, structural issues, and other conditions requiring significant corrective work. These disputes frequently involve multiple participants, including builders, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, and suppliers, which complicates responsibility and damages allocation.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles construction defect litigation involving residential and commercial properties by developing a clear factual record, analyzing relevant contracts and warranties, and pursuing outcomes that can include negotiated repairs, cost recovery, or defense against overstated claims.
