PACER = Public Access To Court Electronic RecordsI am hoping you can still give me advice if I have to pull the data manually.

Based on your comments, I did a quick search of my county's appraisal district and found in their FAQ's:Q: Can I get appraisal roll information as electronic data?

So for $58 / 36 Roommates, that boils down to $1.61 per payments.The Interface is basic but good.I would really urge Landlords to use some form of electronic payments.My preference is to use a program like Rentalutions in order to put the onus on the Tenant to pay their rent.

Then sign it and deliver it to the title company with a check.I do not like electronic signatures unless the other person suggests them.
