Probate Property Info for my County?
Hey guys, I am looking to acquire info on probated properties in San Antonio, Texas, in particular, Bexar county. The only thing I've been able to find is this:
https://www.bexar.org/438/Public-Information-Acces...
Basically I'd like to know if I am in the right place of seeking info (contact info of administrators and also probate attorneys for the administrators, and some property info, etc...)
Just in case if you didn't want to actually go on the website, let me copy and paste what it says:
THE BEXAR COUNTY
PUBLIC INFORMATION NETWORK
The Bexar County Public Information Network (BCPIN) is a system designed to allow clients to access and view public information stored in Bexar County's computer system. To use BCPIN, the subscribing client needs a personal computer (PC) with a modem and recent version of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Software. The BCPIN systems are:
(skipped all info not probate)
COUNTY CLERK PROBATE RECORDS:
Probate Civil Court cases handled by the Probate courts.
Other systems may be added in the future, at no additional cost to current subscribers. A manual is provided to BCPIN subscribers, along with a training class on the various systems.
To subscribe to the BCPIN service, simply fill out the Contract and Security Clearance form and return them to Bexar County Information Services with an initial sign up fee of $100.00, made payable to the Bexar County Clerk. Various passwords will be assigned for access to the systems. A monthly invoice will be sent to each subscriber for the following charges:
A transaction is defined as each time the Enter key is pressed, a Function key (e.g.: F1, F2, etc.) is pressed, or whenever a screen pops upon your monitor. The system is not available beginning at 5:30 p.m. each weekday evening while maintenance is being performed on files. The time required for maintenance varies from two (2) to four (4) hours. When maintenance is completed, the system is available for access.
Your computer must be capable of running Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 or better, or Netscape Navigator Version 4.7, or greater, to use our services, and must have a modem capable of 9600 baud rate or greater. For best results, we recommend a Pentium class computer running at 266Mhz, with a 56k Modem.
Am I at the right place? And also, the fees that they mention, do you think it's a bit expensive relative to your county's fees, if any? I'm trying to start off by wholesaling and don't really want to be putting a lot of money down into anything to be honest, since I'm trying to build capital, but probate looks quite interesting. I'm not sure if it's worth the money, specifically this money...
Any insight would be great! Thanks!
