I’ve seen all those postings but they are not posted until they are also available in the computer system. If you look at the postings they are usually 3-6 days old. If someone records on the 5th of this month, I wouldn’t be able to access that in the system or posted on the board until about the 9th. I want to get it on the 5th or 6th.

I’ve been down to the clerk’s office many times over the last month to research preforeclosures. I have also searched online using their web page. It appears that their computer system used for posting in their office and on the web is anywhere from 3-6 days behind the actual recording date. I realize that most notices of sale will be recorded on the 21 and 22 day before the sale, but how can I access the earlier filings when they are recorded as opposed to waiting for them to post 3-6 days later. No one at the clerks office could give me a good answer. There must be a list of all documents previously recorded during that time window, otherwise, how can title companies insure title when they don’t know if someone conveyed the property in the last 3-6 days? I called a local company that generates a list and was told that they update the list when a notice is posted. Again that seems to be a little late. I’m looking for some feedback. Can I get that info earlier? The list seems very thorough considering the time it would take me to wade through the postings that are done at the last minute. But I would like to get the earlier filings as quickly as possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Evan Perroni

Evan, I suggest you go over to the lobby of the Family Court House where all the foreclosures must be posted.
The postings start on the board there only a few days after the previous auction. That is a few days after the first tuesday of the month. TKP, Houston

Evan,
Glad to see that I’m not the only one that got that same answer at the courthouse.
I asked the exact same question about title insurance companies need up to the minute information and the lady simply said “they have to wait for us”
I’ll let you know if I ever find anything out.
Good Luck!!
