Abstracts, Indexing, Images, & Maps:
Aldrich Abstract Company has a large compilation of county records available for research in our "Plant".
We have Abstract index books dating back to the mid 1800's up through a computerized database using the most advanced software in the title business. We also have maps available for most of the various abstracts. Here at our office, many of the County Court Records are on micro-film or in the computer record imaging. (Computer images are available beginning with year 1865 thru current).
Some records may show valuable genealogical information in addition to the status of the land. Plant use is available for $50 per hour (minimum 2 hours - records may not be taken from the office - copies available for $1.00 per page). Please call our office for further information.
- Definition: "An abstract plant used as the basis for issuance of title insurance policies in the State of Texas shall consist of fully indexed records showing all instruments of record affecting lands within the county for a period of at least 25 years immediately prior to the date of search. The indices pertaining to land shall be arranged in geographic order (i.e.: Lot and Block for subdivided lands, and by Survey or Section Number for acreage tracts). Miscellaneous alphabetical indices shall be maintained according to name. Said indices, land and miscellaneous, may be stored in a computer, and as to land, be subject to retrieval by reference to description of the property under search. The records of the abstract plant shall be maintained to current date, and shall include, but not be limited to, plat or map records, deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, lis pendens, abstracts of judgment, federal tax liens, mechanic's liens, attachment liens, divorce actions, wherein real property is involved; probate records; chattel mortgages, attached to realty and financing statements relating to items which are, or are to become, attached to realty, if available for indexing from the office of the County Clerk of the county which is covered by said plant."
