I have plenty of experience building with these materials myself and am a practicing Civil Engineer in Coos Bay, Oregon.

Asset protection is insurance against litigation and is mostly about making the target smaller (hard to find, because is not impossible) and unattractive (hard to collect).Not a lawyer, nor CPA, so due diligence required. 

Texas is a verbal contract state...so even if you simply said it over the phone the applicant could pursue civil action and attempt to force compliance to the agreement.2.

You may want a different attorney for; contract review, tenant landlord issues, property settlements, a bulldog litigator, evictions, foreclosures, collections etc. i use  many different attorneys and  choose in part based on what I need to have done.

Nonetheless, if he threatens litigation, I would probably report the incident to your insurance company and let them fight for you.
