Biography

Garrett concentrates his practice on examining oil and gas titles, rendering title opinions covering state, federal, and privately owned lands in Texas and New Mexico, and preparing documents for use in the oil and gas industry.

Document preparation includes deeds, leases, joint operating agreements, purchase and sale agreements, easements, and many other hybrid documents a client may need.
