The Collin County Clerk's Property Alert service can notify you when a document is recorded in the County Clerk's Official Public Records that matches information associated with your property. You establish the criteria, and alerts can be delivered by email, text or phone.
Why does that matter?
Property and deed fraud can involve someone attempting to record a fraudulent document involving property they don't actually own. An alert service cannot prevent a fraudulent filing, but it can give a homeowner something extremely valuable: early warning.
This isn't a substitute for title insurance, legal advice or appropriate fraud prevention. It's another layer of awareness.
The process is simple.
- Register for the free service.
- Enter the information you want monitored.
- Pay attention when an alert arrives.
- Investigate promptly if you don't recognize the filing.
