Probate, Divorce & Tax Suit Leads in Texas — Straight From Court Records

0:00Life events drive a lot of house sales. An estate. A divorce. A tax suit. A foreclosure. Every one of them leaves a public record. These leads come from those records, not from a guess.

0:15The case types. Probate and estates. Divorce. Tax suits, where the county has sued over unpaid taxes. Pre-foreclosures, from the trustee sale notices. And debt lawsuits, where a creditor has sued the owner.

0:31Each filing is matched to a house. The name on the case is checked against the county's owner records. Exact matches for companies, careful matches for people.

0:41On the lead, open the filing. You see when it was filed, and a timeline of where the case likely stands. The case number, the type and the status. And the source line names the court, so you can look it up yourself.

0:56Probate is its own skill. The panel tells you what kind of estate it is, and what that means for a sale. It tells you who to contact, and whether letters have issued, meaning someone can sign. And it warns you. Don't mail the owner of record. They've passed.

1:16For foreclosures, the auction date sits right at the top, with a countdown. A sale inside thirty-five days scores highest, so the most urgent ones rise to the top.

1:27Coverage varies by county and case type. Some courts publish online, some don't. The data freshness page shows how fast each kind of record reaches your feed.
