At Hollerbach & Associates, when we say that We Know Texas BetterTM, it's more than just a catchy phrase — we mean it. With our large network of Texas professionals and our 35 years of experience in title researching, how could we not? The truth is that Texas's 254 counties, with their broad variety of record-keeping practices, make title research a tricky beast to tackle — and that's why you need a company that knows Texas better.
Getting to Know Texas
Many people may not realize how hard it is to truly "get to know" Texas. One of the reasons for this is because Texas is the greatest state in the U.S. — and we mean that in terms of quality of living and in terms of sheer size. There are a wide variety of landscapes in Texas, from large, urbanized cities to vast, rural ranches and farms, which makes Texas record-keeping rather sporadic. All land in Texas originally belonged to Mexico, the government of Spain, the Republic of Texas, or the State of Texas, and between the 1500s to the 1800s, Texas property underwent the messy process of converting land from public to private ownership. This was the start of the complicated history of Texas title record keeping. From Spanish land grants in the 1700s to land ownership now, an intricate web of transactions has been woven over the years. Flash forward to today, and Texas has a whopping 254 counties, all with their own record-keeping techniques and customs. Sounds complicated, right? That's exactly why it's so important to have a team of qualified researchers to guide you through your property transactions, and you're in luck! Navigating the unstable terrain of Texas title research is a daunting task that we here at Hollerbach & Associates have perfected.
