My question is really around the legality and process of taking back the garage from the existing tenants for this project.

You may need to safeguard the collateral, make emergency repairs, pay for legal notices and filings.

You will need a licensed TX attorney to oversee the legal documents, you need escrow officers and transaction managers and business development/marketing.

I don't have any pending legal issues at the moment, but I've been thinking I should find a lawyer that I can go to for questions, to review documents, leases, etc so that I can have confidence that I'm not making any silly mistakes that will get me into trouble later on.
