What’s Included in the Document?
The three primary categories included in the PDF are real property document images, grantor/grantee indexes, and title plants. All three sections of the data include both current and historical records. Current document images correspond with grantor/grantee indexes and title plants. Some document images are also available by entering the volume and page number or clerk file number on the document image page.
Significance of Grantor/Grantee Index
The Grantor/Grantee index is our document collection of official record noting activity against a party’s name. While this information is usually found at the courthouse, CourthouseDirect.com presents the information readily accessible. Keeping information organized is also easier with our services. Electronic records help maintain a chain of research, and it keeps information concise and in chronological order. Current grantor/grantee records cover the last 10-15 years, while historical documents go back almost 100 years.
What Are Title Plants?
These geographically indexed records include all necessary information for title searching. They index both the legal description and parties attached to a specific property. Users can conduct specific searches down to the subdivision, lot and block numbers.
Utilize Historical Records
The link to our browseable directory of past and present documents is located in the left-hand menu of the homepage. The link will take you to the historical property records available in a specified county. For example, CourthouseDirect.com has historical property documents for Harris County, Texas from 1837-1959. Other historical documents include handwritten grantor/grantee indexes.
What Does “Current” Mean?
CourthouseDirect.com classifies anything from the last 10-14 days as current. The website provides additional specifications about dates and records.
Gaining a basic understanding of the structure of CourthouseDirect.com will help visitors be successful when they begin using our resources to conduct research. We continually update our document database, and we are constantly extending our reach locally and nationally.
