No. The Titus Law Firm serves clients across Texas. The property, the dispute, the venue, and the circumstances of the matter will influence how representation is handled, but the firm’s practice is not limited to one neighborhood or one narrow class of client.

It means $7,500 is the starting point for certain real estate litigation matters, but the actual retainer may be higher depending on complexity. A straightforward dispute with limited documents and a clear legal issue may look very different from a multi-party case involving title history, urgent injunctive issues, or substantial discovery. The consultation and review process is intended to determine that early.

No. Real estate litigation matters are handled as retainer-based engagements. Retainers begin at $7,500 and increase based on complexity, urgency, and scope of work.

Yes. Not every real estate dispute starts in court. In some matters, early intervention is the smartest move. That may involve reviewing documents, identifying claims and defenses, preparing demand communications, preserving leverage, evaluating risk, or positioning the matter so that litigation is either avoided or approached from a stronger position.

Real estate litigation usually moves through multiple stages, and clients should understand that the process is not just one hearing or one filing.

- The first stage is pre-suit and information gathering, where documents are reviewed, facts are investigated, parties are identified, legal theories are analyzed, and the strategic path is assessed.

- The second stage is filing and service, where a petition or other initiating pleading is filed and the opposing parties are formally served.

- The third stage is initial disclosures and discovery, which can include written discovery, document exchange, subpoenas, depositions, and other fact development tools.

- The fourth stage is pretrial, where motions, hearings, expert work, mediation, and case narrowing often occur.

- The fifth stage is trial, where the case is presented to the court or a jury if the matter does not resolve earlier.

- The sixth stage is collections, post-trial proceedings, and or appeals, which may involve enforcing a judgment, defending a judgment, challenging rulings, or addressing what happens after the trial court enters its decision.

Not every case reaches every stage, but clients should understand that litigation is a process, not a single event.

There is no honest one-size-fits-all answer. Some disputes can be evaluated and resolved relatively quickly. Others take months or years depending on the claims, the court, the number of parties, the volume of documents, whether emergency relief is involved, whether discovery becomes contested, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Timing depends on the actual dispute.

Yes, depending on the facts. Fraud-related claims may arise under statutory fraud provisions, common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, DTPA theories, breach of fiduciary duty, or related causes of action depending on the transaction and the conduct involved. The first step is to review what was represented, what was relied upon, what documents exist, and what damages or remedies may be available.

That may raise a partition issue. In Texas, partition actions can be used to divide or force sale of certain jointly owned real property where co-owners cannot agree. These cases can become contentious, especially where occupancy, reimbursement claims, management disputes, or family dynamics are involved. The firm handles partition-related disputes.

That may involve claims such as trespass to try title, quiet title, declaratory judgment, boundary-related claims, adverse possession, or related theories depending on the facts. Title and ownership disputes often require careful review of deeds, chains of title, possession history, surveys, communications, and other records. These are not matters to approach casually.

Construction-related real estate disputes may involve breach of contract, warranties, the Residential Construction Liability Act, mechanic’s lien issues, fraud-related theories, or property damage claims depending on the facts. Real estate disputes often overlap with construction, payment, and project-performance issues.

That depends on the path you choose.

-If you call, a receptionist pre-qualifies and the matter is either rejected or scheduled.

-If you use the self-scheduling path, you first complete a questionnaire and your matter is either rejected or allowed to schedule.

-If you complete the form, the firm receives your name, phone number, email address, and synopsis, and then calls to pre-qualify the matter before rejecting or scheduling.

In each case, the purpose is to determine whether the matter appears to be a fit before time is set aside for a fuller consultation.

No serious litigation firm should guarantee an outcome. Real estate disputes depend on facts, documents, credibility, law, venue, timing, and what can be proven. The firm focuses on strategic evaluation, quality service, and practical legal guidance rather than overpromising results.
