What We Do for Houston Clients
We focus on planning, drafting, and pre-litigation work. That means we help you put the right documents in place before problems start. Choose a practice area below to see the Texas services and pricing.
Estate Planning
Wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives written under Texas law. Plans fit individuals, couples, parents, blended families, and business owners. Three flat-fee packages start at $1,800 for a single person and $3,500 for a couple.
Asset Protection
LLCs for rental and investment property, trust planning, and asset titling that keeps a claim against one property from reaching the rest. Texas offers some of the strongest homestead protection in the country, and we build plans around it.
Prenuptial, Postnuptial & Cohabitation Agreements
Texas is a community property state. Without an agreement, state rules decide what's separate and what's shared. We draft and review prenups, postnups, and cohabitation agreements so you and your partner set those terms yourselves. Agreements start at $1,500.
Business Law
LLC and corporation formation, contracts, partnership agreements, private lending documents, and fractional general counsel for Houston small businesses. Projects start at $250.
Residential Real Estate Law
Purchase contracts, lease agreements, owner financing, new construction contracts, landlord packages, and title issue guidance for buyers, sellers, landlords, and investors. Services start at $500.
Texas Rules That Shape Your Plan
Texas law works differently from other states, including Arizona, where our firm also practices. These rules affect how we draft your documents in Houston.
Signing a will
What Texas law says
Two witnesses, age 14 or older, must be in the room. Texas doesn’t allow electronic wills.
Why it matters to you
Your will signing happens in person. We set up the witnesses and notary for you.
Homestead protection
What Texas law says
Your homestead is protected from most creditors with no dollar cap, up to 10 acres in a city.
Why it matters to you
Asset protection plans in Texas start with how your home is titled.
Common-law marriage
What Texas law says
Texas recognizes informal marriage.
Why it matters to you
A couple who lives as married may already be legally married. A cohabitation agreement can clarify where you stand.
Marital property
What Texas law says
Texas is a community property state.
Why it matters to you
Property bought during marriage is usually shared. A prenup or postnup lets you set different terms.
Series LLCs
What Texas law says
Texas allows one LLC to hold a separate series for each rental.
Why it matters to you
Landlords can separate properties without forming a new LLC for each one.
Private loans
What Texas law says
Texas sets interest rate ceilings with heavy penalties.
Why it matters to you
Private lending documents need a careful review before you sign.

My first time working with a virtual office. It was an easy process and I appreciated the communication and easy to understand next steps. All my questions were answered and I never felt like I was asking a dumb question. Highly recommend.
— Jenna
“
I just bought my first rental property. I am so glad I was referred to Francisca. Her Landlord’s Package was everything I needed to confidently lease and manage my property without wondering what I should do next.
— Katie
What We Don't Handle
We keep our practice focused so we can do our best work. Our firm does not go to court. We don't handle lawsuits, eviction filings, probate administration, guardianship court cases, trust administration after a death, Medicaid applications, or VA benefits claims. If you need one of these services, we'll refer you to a trusted Houston colleague.
Houston Office FAQs
Something else on your mind? Call or text
Do I need to visit the Houston office?
Usually not until signing. Consultations, document review, and most communication happen online. Texas requires witnesses to be physically present when you sign a will, so that step happens in person at our office or another location we arrange.
What parts of the Houston area do you serve?
We serve clients in Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties. That includes Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, Cypress, Spring, Conroe, and nearby communities.
How much does a lawyer cost at your Houston office?
Most matters are flat fee. Estate planning packages start at $1,800 for a single person and $3,500 for a couple. Prenups start at $1,500, business projects at $250, and real estate services at $500. You'll get an exact quote after your free consultation.
Do you go to court?
No. We handle planning, drafting, negotiation, and pre-litigation work only. If your matter needs a lawsuit or court hearing, we'll refer you to outside counsel.
I moved to Houston with an estate plan from another state. Do I need a new one?
Often, yes. Texas uses its own forms for powers of attorney and health care directives, and its community property rules may change how your assets pass. We review out-of-state plans and update them to work under Texas law.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Every new client gets one free 30-minute virtual consultation. The consultation doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Representation starts once you sign an engagement agreement.
