Yes, you will. After you've paid off this lawyer, you should ask him politely about the appropriate real estate documents to transfer the house back to you (it will probably be a general warranty deed in which he is the Grantor and you are the Grantees).

Be sure you get a Warranty Deed and not a Quit Claim Deed. Texas does not recognize Quit Claim Deeds as providing good title. Also, you may want to have a title company or an attorney to look at your documents to make sure your title is back in place.
