New Braunfels sits between San Antonio and Austin, and the steady growth along that corridor has kept real estate lawyers busy with home purchases, new subdivisions, ranch sales and title disputes. Buyers and sellers who need help with a contract, a closing or a problem with a deed often start by looking for a local firm that handles the kind of property involved. Firms in the area range from practices built around farm and ranch land, such as Texas Horizons Law Group, to general practices that handle real estate alongside wills, probate and family law. This list brings together firms that serve the New Braunfels area so readers can compare them on the same terms.
It helps to know where lawyers fit in a Texas real estate deal. Most residential closings in the state are handled by title companies, and licensed real estate agents are required to use contract forms promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission. A lawyer is not required for every purchase, yet attorneys often review contracts, draft deeds and easements, resolve title objections, and represent clients when a boundary, lien or inheritance issue threatens a sale. Commercial transactions, land with severed mineral rights and property passing through an estate are the situations where legal help is most commonly sought.
Local geography adds its own questions. Parts of Comal County lie over the Edwards Aquifer recharge and contributing zones, where state environmental rules can affect how land is developed, and properties near the Comal and Guadalupe rivers may sit in mapped floodplains that influence insurance, permitting and value. Buyers of acreage outside city limits also run into questions about road access, septic systems and water wells that rarely come up with a subdivision lot.
That Is the List: 8 Real Estate Law Firms Serving New Braunfels and Comal County
1. Texas Horizons Law Group
Texas Horizons Law Group has built one of the more comprehensive real estate practices serving the New Braunfels area, with an office on West San Antonio Street and a service area that extends into Seguin and across Guadalupe and Comal counties. The firm’s structure reflects the range of property work that comes through a growing corridor between San Antonio and Austin — residential closings, commercial transactions, and the farm and ranch deals that remain common on land outside the city limits.
What sets Texas Horizons apart is the depth of board certification among its real estate attorneys. Christopher Moore holds board certification in both commercial and residential real estate law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential that requires meeting minimum experience thresholds, passing a specialized exam and clearing peer review. Stephen Ganske carries an even broader set of certifications, covering commercial real estate, farm and ranch real estate, and oil, gas and mineral law. That combination is particularly relevant in Comal County, where acreage sales often come with questions about mineral reservations, water rights and easements that a generalist practice may not routinely encounter.
The firm’s work spans the categories that matter most to buyers and sellers in this market. Residential closings and contract review make up a steady share of the practice, but the farm and ranch work is where the certifications carry the most weight — reviewing surveys, addressing severed mineral interests, and resolving the access and water questions that come with rural land. Commercial transactions round out the practice, giving the firm coverage across the property types most likely to need legal review in a market where title companies handle the bulk of routine closings.
Texas Horizons has also moved toward flat-fee pricing for a portion of its real estate work, a shift that gives clients more certainty about cost before a transaction begins. For buyers and sellers accustomed to hourly billing in real estate matters, that structure can make the decision to bring in an attorney more straightforward, particularly for contract review or deed preparation where the scope of work is reasonably predictable in advance.
For clients in the New Braunfels area weighing a residential purchase, a commercial deal, or a farm and ranch transaction with mineral or water considerations, Texas Horizons Law Group’s combination of board-certified attorneys and local presence makes it one of the more capable options serving Comal County.

How This List Was Compiled
Identifying real estate practices with a genuine, verifiable presence in New Braunfels and Comal County, from a much larger pool of firms that list real estate as one of several practice areas, required consistent criteria applied across every candidate.
A documented real estate practice. Every firm on this list describes real estate work on its own website or in its public directory profiles — not as an incidental service, but as a stated area of practice.
A local office or service area. Each firm maintains a physical office in New Braunfels or publicly states a service area that includes New Braunfels or Comal County, rather than listing the region only in passing.
Breadth of relevant real estate work. The firms included handle the categories of work most likely to affect buyers, sellers and landowners in this market — residential transactions, commercial property, farm and ranch land, or title issues and disputes.
Objective, verifiable credentials. Where a firm or attorney claims a specific credential, such as board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization or a stated number of years in practice, that claim can be checked against public records.
Board certification is worth a brief explanation. The Texas Board of Legal Specialization certifies attorneys who meet experience, examination and peer review requirements in a specific area, and its public search tool allows anyone to confirm a certification. Years in practice and bar status can be checked through the State Bar of Texas. Descriptions above rely on each firm’s own website or its public directory listings, and details were kept to what those sources state.
Conclusion
Choosing among these firms usually comes down to the type of property and the stage of the transaction, since a first-time buyer reviewing a contract has different needs from a family dividing an inherited ranch. A short first call covering who will handle the file, how fees are set and how the firm approaches surveys, easements and mineral reservations tends to reveal a good fit quickly. Readers comparing firms that handle property in Comal County can review individual practice pages, such as thlg.law/real-estate-attorneys-new-braunfels-tx, alongside the websites of the other firms listed here, and then speak with two or three before deciding which one fits the property and the transaction at hand. This list does not rank the firms against each other, and readers should confirm a firm’s current services directly before hiring it.
