Questions in regard to DIY title search
Hi everyone, I am new, fired up and eager. I am attempting to search records to locate real property liens in harris county, Houston, Texas. I am not interested in paying a title search company to do a preliminary scrub on properties I may be interested in, So please do not suggest for me to locate a title company to do title search. I would only like to know exactly what website to go to find judgement liens in harris county. I have gone to hcdistrictcourt.com but i do not know exactly where to go in the site or what to type in to find it. I do appreciate the participation in the forum. I truly appreciate the help.

I work at a municipal lien search company in Florida. Texas is a little different in the way that they process and record municipal issues like code violations. They have something called "title plants" that title insurance agents use to access information on a property's legal history. I'm not sure what information title plants have that aren't possibly listed in the public record, but here's an article on how to do a basic title search to find liens.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
