Examine conveyances, oil and gas leases, rights-of-way, CC&Rs, plats, tax records, and court filings to establish verified chains of title and identify encumbrances.
Investigate probate, estate administration, affidavits of heirship, bankruptcy records, and judgment liens affecting record title.
Track severed mineral and subsurface estates forward to present day, evaluating legal access and potential boundary discrepancies.
Build accurate, traceable runsheets, title flowcharts, and ownership reports following standardized project checklists and reviewer standards.
Identify title defects, missing conveyances, and unreleased liens, delivering practical curative recommendations to project leadership.
Mandatory Requirements
Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience researching surface and mineral title, including at least 1 year actively running and reporting title in West or South Texas courthouses.
Must be physically located in or able to work daily on-site in Sanderson, TX.
Proven ability to execute complete abstracting workflows, deep chain-of-title research, and complex ownership calculations independently.
Proficiency with digital public records databases, Microsoft Excel, Word, and Adobe Acrobat.
Strong verbal and written communication skills with strict adherence to daily and weekly project reporting deadlines.
