Because Results Matter

From clean transactions to intense litigation, The Weaver Law Firm protects your interests in every aspect of real estate law.

Reliable Real Estate Representation

The Weaver Law Firm serves buyers, sellers, investors, developers, builders, contractors and others in all matters involving residential and commercial real estate, including:

Representation In All Types Of Real Estate Litigation

While we handle real estate matters and transactions, our practice focuses on litigation. When needed, we are prepared to go to trial. We resolve disputes between buyers and real estate agents or brokers, including disputes over agent agreements. We resolve boundary line disputes. We are experienced in resolving a variety of real estate disputes. We overcome challenges. That is what we do.

We represent real estate agents opposite clients and the Texas Real Estate Commission. Our work also includes the representation of individuals against real estate agents and real estate management companies for breach of fiduciary duty. We have brought verified claims and applications to courts for orders directing payment of judgment from the Real Estate Recovery Trust Account in accordance with Subchapter M, Chapter 1101 of the Texas Occupations Code.

We also handle easements, including utility easements. In real estate transactions, there are often situations in which sellers and developers are sued for allegedly selling real estate property without disclosing easements — even though the purchaser obtained their own survey reports. We work to prevent and resolve these types of disputes.

We also handle situations in which individuals believe that they have oil and gas royalty interests in real property by inheritance but are uncertain as to the extent. Our researchers can conduct title searches and examinations to determine who has the royalty interest.

Our Texas real estate lawyer’s experience in landlord-tenant matters includes representing both landlords and commercial tenants negotiate leases. We assist commercial landlords in situations dealing with tenant breaches or tenant’s failure to pay rent. We help commercial and residential landlords in tenant lock-outs and evictions. We help landlords understand their responsibilities as required by the Texas Property Code. Oftentimes, landlords engage in wrongful lockouts of tenants and wrongfully withhold rental deposits. We help them follow the procedures required by the Texas Property Code.

Our real estate law firm also represents clients with zoning, restrictions and land use planning concerns such as seeking amendments or variances to deed restrictions. For example, we can assist clients who want to change the use limitation on residential lots to a commercial lot. We assist clients whose goal is to have their property exempt from certain constraints contained in the restrictions, which limit the use and nature of the real property.

In potential purchase and sale situations involving individual purchasers and a builder/developer purchaser, our real estate attorney can review deed restrictions for matters limiting use and causing certain building restrictions. We advise clients on restrictions. Our real estate law firm advises clients on the current status of land use, whether residential or commercial, and advise on the process for change.

Experience | Loyalty | Communication | Results

We understand that the primary goal in all real estate matters is the achievement of positive results. Our attorneys has the experience necessary to achieve the results our clients need. Our clients also appreciate our loyalty, as well as our honest communication of information.

Our attorneys are available to represent clients in Houston, San Antonio, Harris County and the surrounding communities of Texas.

Awards & Recognition

I have used Mr. Weaver on two occasions. The first case was a rather complicated financial real estate deal gone bad with a former partner. Through his dedication, he accomplished my primary goal and my secondary goal. He took my case to trial and won. I recommend him to all of those who need representation on such issues. Additionally, he also was a kind and understanding individual.

When my husband and I decided to expand our business and create a new charity organization in Houston, we sought out an attorney who was not only professional, knowledgeable, and timely, but also personable and accessible. Attorney Richard Weaver has exceeded our expectations in all of the categories that were important to us. It is so refreshing to have someone who listens and gives honest advice on how to conduct our business and personal affairs. Mr. Weaver has been with us every step of the way. He was there with us in the beginning stages and gave us advice on everything from becoming incorporated to website content! I love his attention to detail and ability to listen. When my father passed away in 2010, he was right there to walk us through the probate of his will. I felt an immediate ease once I placed those documents in Richard's hands because I knew he'd take care of it all. In all, we will be clients of Richard's for life because we never think twice of who we need to call when we need legal advice and/or services. We consider him a part of both our business and family because he has proven to be trustworthy and dependable. Thanks so much Richard for being more that we could've ever hoped for in an attorney!

His diligence in discovery and superior litigation skills helped obtain a favorable award and a very favorable judgment. It's never a pleasant experience to be sued, but we sued back and won. We found a trustworthy attorney and a good friend throughout the experience.

My husband and I asked Richard Weaver to form a partnership agreement for a beach property when we were selling half our interest to another party. Richard did an outstanding job. He produced the necessary documents in a timely manner that thoroughly covered all aspects of our transfer of ownership. It was a pleasure to do business with such a professional and ethical firm.

During the real estate boom, my wife and I invested in more than 10 houses in Houston mainly due to low entry prices and positive cash flow even though we lived in California. Naturally, we had to hire a property manager to take care of those houses for us. It was going fine for several months. But the property manager started sending money late and in the end, the property manager went in hiding after taking all of our rent income for several months. My wife and I decided to hire Richard Weaver as our lawyer after learning about his client reviews and background. At first, we did not know what to expect, but we didn't want to give up. We were not sure whether we would be able to recover anything. But Richard worked hard on our case and kept us informed during the process. Richard was wonderfully patient and understanding. Finally, to our pleasant surprise, he brought us a successful civil case when other lawyers had simply given up. His attention to detail surely helped win this case. On top of that, Richard is also very resourceful and worked within the budget we gave him. We can't say enough about the work Richard did on our behalf and highly recommend him for any real estate related legal matters.

As a client of The Weaver Law Firm, I was extremely pleased with their services. In 2008, I sold my home in a short sell. The property transaction closed and title to the property passed to the new buyers. But the title agent/Esquire Title, LLC, failed to pay off the lien holder/lender, Wells Fargo. Evidently, Esquire initially tried to pay off the wrong lender. Before Esquire could or did pay Wells Fargo the new pay-off amount, the Texas Department of Insurance took over Esquire's operations, discontinued all residential real estate transactions being handled by Esquire, and froze Esquire's bank accounts. Thus, the funds intended to pay Wells Fargo were trapped in Esquire's bank account and never used to pay Wells Fargo. And Wells Fargo looked to me for payment. Wells Fargo sued me and the new owners of the property. After finding Mr. Weaver, he handled everything for me and kept me up to date on how the case was going. He was able to get a settlement showing that I owe nothing, which cleared me of all claims. Wells Fargo dropped their claims against me. It was reassuring to know that I had an attorney taking care of everything on my behalf. Mr. Weaver was very knowledgeable in real estate laws and looked out for my best interest. Thank you, Mr. Weaver.

Realtors are responsible for making real estate transactions run as smooth as possible, however, when there are problems, a real estate lawyer is necessary. For our family, Richard Weaver was just the lawyer for us.
I can safely say that Richard Weaver is a knowledgeable real estate lawyer from the point of drafting of the purchase agreement through and post closing.

Our issues involved environmental issues, seller disclosure and financing. Without Mr. Weaver's expertise, our situation could have been far more expensive to fix than if he had been involved post closing.

I now know that as buyers or sellers of real estate, people should consult an attorney before they sign the purchase agreement. This agreement spells out the terms of the transaction. By the time it is signed, it is often too late for the attorney to do anything about a problem with the real estate.

In our case we had already unknowingly signed a purchase agreement. Fortunately, Mr. Weaver was able to move swiftly and accurately towards resolution. He was able to lower the purchase price substantially and save us tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of our dream home.

I liken hiring Richard Weaver to purchasing an insurance policy. When people wait until they know they need a lawyer, it is usually too late to find one. And if it isn't too late, it will usually cost much more to get a lawyer involved once the deal has gone awry. Many real estate transactions are time-sensitive and a responsive and attentive attorney can save the transaction or at least advise clients on the best options they have available.

In our specific case, we found Richard Weaver, who moved quickly and aggressively, charged fair attorney fees, and was able to make the fairest deal possible for our situation.

Believe me, in the future Mr. Weaver will review all of our real estate transactions beforehand. As a matter of fact, we found Richard Weaver to be so personable, intelligent and responsible. He is now our family attorney for all legal matters, which we may face in the future.
