TexasBarCLE presents the 27th Annual Course Advanced Real Estate Drafting Purpose and Scope Dictum meum pactum or My word is my bond - has been the motto of the London Stock Exchange since 1801 where bargains were made with no exchange of documents and no written pledges given. Even when this is the motto of our clients, attorneys are charged with the responsibility of making sure that when documents are exchanged and written pledges are given, the documents and written pledges accurately reflect the transaction. Critical to this process is the expertise of real estate attorneys in the complexities of real estate law. Texas attorneys will present current Texas laws and issues that must be addressed when real estate documents are drafted and exchanged and written pledges are drafted and given.
