Not tested but You need to use Dynamic SQL.

CREATE PROC [dbo].[bb_GetPrepositionInfo] 
    @userid INT,@propId INT,@tabName varchar(50)
AS 
    SET NOCOUNT ON 
    SET XACT_ABORT ON  

    BEGIN TRAN

    DECLARE @SQL varchar(250)
    SELECT @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM ' + QuoteName(@tabName) + ' where acq_id=' + Quotename(@propId) + ' AND user_id=' + Quotename(@userid)
    EXEC (@SQL)

    COMMIT
GO

CREATE PROC [dbo].[bb_GetPrepositionInfo] 
  DECLARE  @userid INT
  DECLARE   @propId INT 
  DECLARE  @tabName varchar(50)
  DECLARE @sqlCommand varchar(200)
AS 
  SET NOCOUNT ON 
  SET XACT_ABORT ON  

  BEGIN TRAN

  SET @sqlCommand = 'SELECT * from ' + @tabName +'WHERE  [acq_id]='+  @propId +'AND   [user_id] = '+ @userid 
  EXEC (@sqlCommand)

You don't need "@sqlCommand varchar(200)" as a parameter if you are going to reset it every time in the procedure. Consider instead declaring it as a variable within the body of the procedure. – Mack Nov 29 '13 at 12:15
