Step by step in Harris County

1. 1

   Decide what you need

   A current owner search (owner, deeds, open loans, liens, tax) answers most buyer and investor questions; a lender closing needs a title insurance commitment instead.

2. 2

   Search it yourself or order it

   The Harris County Clerk index is public; matching every deed of trust to its release of lien and checking the courts takes time. A HeritageDeed report does it for $49.
