Preferred Title Company Partners

It researches the property's title history, resolves issues that cloud ownership, issues title insurance, holds earnest money and other funds in escrow, prepares closing documents, and manages the closing so ownership transfers free of undisclosed claims.

Title insurance protects the buyer and the lender against losses from defects in the title that existed before closing — liens, recording errors, forged documents, undisclosed heirs, or ownership disputes. Unlike most insurance, it covers past events rather than future ones, and the owner's policy premium is paid once at closing.

Texas is a promulgated-rate state. The Texas Department of Insurance sets title insurance premiums, so the rate for a given policy amount is identical regardless of which title company you use. Choose on service quality, responsiveness, and escrow accuracy instead.

In Texas this is negotiable between buyer and seller and is addressed in the contract. Your agent can recommend a title partner, but the choice belongs to the parties. Under federal law a seller cannot require a buyer to purchase title insurance from a particular company as a condition of the sale.

No. These partners are provided as a convenience only. Buyers and sellers are always free to choose their own title company, and comparable services are available from other providers. No one is required to use any partner listed here.

Choose any Texas region and the list updates to show the title partners who serve it. Partners covering the entire state are marked Statewide Texas and appear under every region you select.

Reach out and we'll help make a connection. Several of the partners listed here work for companies with offices across Texas and can direct you to the right branch for an out-of-area closing. We'd also welcome a recommendation if you already work with a title company you trust in that market.

Send the fully executed contract and earnest money as soon as the contract is executed, along with the buyer's and seller's contact information, lender contact, survey if one exists, and any known title issues. Opening title early gives everyone room to resolve problems before they threaten your closing date.

No. No partner listed on this page has paid any fee, or provided anything of value, in exchange for placement or referral. Inclusion is based on working relationships with our agents, not on payment.
