How do I get Title Deed from Divorced Wife-Owner who disputes agreement ??

TexasMechanics LienRight to Lien

I have a simple agreement to purchase a house with $600 monthly payments.The agreement originated with the husband-owner. The agreed upon price "was" $60,000 and in the middle of purchasing, owners divorced and wife got the property. Due to some complications with husband-owner's tax debt, "he" was unable to legally tansfer the property. I agreed to an Aditional $10,00 in monthly $600 payments....since the Wife-owner had no such incumberances. However, upon my making my Last Payment in November 2019....after having paid $70,000....in Monthly $600 payments since August 2012 AND residing in the house this entire time, Wife-Owner wants me to continue paying $600/month (Because they never paid off $10,000 Mortgage...which is WHY I agreed to the extra $10,000....when she told me about the unpaid amount....).and has now tried to evict me. The local JP threw out Eviction because we are not "RENTING - We are BUYING" AND...we have met our obligation of payment of $70,000.00 in full. Problem....I've NEVER bought property before, and the only document I have is a simple signed statement from Husband Owner stating we are purchasing the property fro $60,000 @ $600/month. This statement was written after we had paid about $20,000 and was hoping to get financing and pay off the house early....that is when I was inofrmed Husband-Owner had Federal Tax Judgements against im and HE would be unable to execute the Title Deed Transfer. I DO NOT have an Official Contract nor FULLY Drwan Agreement....Only the signed statement and all th communications with the WIFE-Owner since she took over ownership. ???HELP??

This is a violation of Texas contract for deed rules under Texas law on the homeowner's behalf. You should hire an attorney to review the transaction, you may be entitled to significant punitive damages, in additional to title to the house.
