No, at least not to the initial meeting.  You need to tell your attorney what real estate you own and where it is located.  If the real estate is located outside Texas, be sure to mention this to the attorney.  Also tell the attorney who the record owner is.  For example, if it is your house, you and your spouse are probably on the deed as record owners, but if you inherited 20 acres from your mother, the property is likely to be in your name alone.  This is important for the attorney to know.
