Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

lease termination due to transfer of property ownership

Our landlord recently sold the property at which I have a lease through December 31st, 2008. They have hinted that they may try to make us move out very soon. Does the new owner have the right to end our lease? What conditions must be met for them to be able to end our lease?
