OUR TEAM

Rob Knight started his legal career by opening a law firm in Houston, Texas, where he practiced in the areas of family, criminal, real estate and probate law.  He relocated to Tyler, Texas, to focus his work on oil and gas title opinions. At Flowers Davis, he practices in the areas of oil and gas title opinions and real estate law.  Rob typically works for large multi-national oil and gas companies, as well as mid sized and small local oil and gas companies.  He also represents banks, municipalities and title companies.

Rob has prepared title opinions in multiple states, from simple title opinions to complex division order, unit-wide opinions and leasehold opinions.  He also prepares title opinions in anticipation of both residential and commercial loans, and for condemnation proceedings.  He has worked in several areas of law that currently overlap real property law, including probate and family law, and has a thorough understanding of all instruments within a chain of title.

Rob enjoys working in real property law and reviewing land title.  Whether he is preparing title opinions or aiding the issuance of loans and title policies, he understands the importance of providing his services in a quick and efficient manner, and in delivering a quality product.  

Outside of work Rob enjoys playing guitar, painting, mountain biking, yoga, preparing for and competing in obstacle course races.
