Ag parcels, ranches, citrus groves, river-frontage, and raw development tracts across the Hill Country. Our examiners know the kind of chain-of-title a Texas land deal actually has.
Land deals in Central Texas are not like subdivision lots. Chains of title run back to Spanish and Mexican land grants. Mineral interests may have been severed a century ago. Easements for pipelines, irrigation, roads, and grazing may appear nowhere in the recorded deed. Our ranch-and-land team has seen it, researched it, and closed it.
Central Texas land often has severed mineral estates. We trace the severance chain and document what conveys versus what's excepted.
Unrecorded leases are a classic Central Texas title risk. We include lease research in our ranch files.
Deeded vs. prescriptive access, utility easements, pipeline ROWs, and conservation easements all get reviewed.
Changes in use can trigger up to 5 years of rollback taxes. We flag the risk before your buyer takes title.
Irrigation district allocations, Rio Grande Watermaster shares, and groundwater rights — we note what's researchable and flag what requires specialist review.
For properties along the Rio Grande, we coordinate with USIBWC surveys and note any federal levee-zone restrictions.
Raw land and ranch closings almost always require a new survey — existing surveys on acreage tracts are usually too old or too limited to support the endorsements a buyer and lender need. We coordinate directly with Hill Country surveyors experienced with ranch tracts, brush country, and river-frontage parcels, and we project-manage the survey timeline so it doesn't sink your closing date.
Complex chains of title, unique parcels, generational land — our team lives for this work.
