How it works
In every county we source, the records are already OCR'd, normalized, and pre-vetted. When you give us a tract, we're not starting from scratch, we're filtering our standing index, running the chain, writing the abstractor's notes, and delivering. Standard turnaround is five business days. We frequently deliver sooner.
Why it's fast
Most title work is slow because the records aren't ready. The clerk's index isn't searchable, the OCR isn't done, the parties aren't normalized, and the chain hasn't been pre-walked. We do that work once per county, up front. By the time you call us, our standing index for that county is already pre-vetted by a Texas-licensed senior landman.
So the five-day clock isn't a courthouse run, an OCR pass, and a normalization pipeline, it's the abstractor's work on your specific tract, on top of records that are already in shape.
What happens in five days
Day 0
County, parcel ID or legal description, and what you're trying to answer. A short scoping email is enough.
Days 1–2
Senior landman filters the pre-vetted county index to your tract. Constructs the chain. Adds Abstractor's Notes. Pulls supporting wells/permits and skip-traces the owners.
Days 3–4
Texas-licensed senior landman reviews flagged rows, signs off on the abstractor's summary, verifies the Document Library nomenclature.
Day 5
Linked workbook + Document Library + written abstractor's summary. You can be in your buyer's office on Monday with Friday's tract title work. See the interactive sample or the full County Foundation spec.
When five days isn't the right SLA
Some engagements require specialty language work, litigation-grade chain construction, expert-witness research, curative work that needs filings or document drafting, M&A diligence under tight NDA. Those are scoped and quoted separately, or narrow the scope to a single survey with an abstract runsheet. See Custom Abstracting for the day-rate / retainer engagement model.
