Title Insurance is important to Consumers and Lenders.

Unfortunately, there is a disturbing trend among publicly traded Direct operations to send their title work overseas.

Offshoring certain functions are fine but the Abstracting/Examination work for the sale of Texas property should NOT be one of them.

Integrity Title Company, in cooperation with CourthouseDirect.com, are helping Texans keep more profits from Title Premiums right here in Texas.

Consumer, Lender, Real Estate Agent, Investor desiring a quality title insurance product should make sure the research is performed in Texas by Texans. Go to TitlewithTexans.com and place your order with experienced Agents commited to providing the highest quality title services available.

By using Title with Texans you can be sure your title work is being perfomed by Texas Abstracters & Examiners knowledgable of the nuances of our laws and traditions.

Many Underwriter "Direct" operations outsource their research overseas. The results have been less than superior Examinations and Title Commitments.

We believe in the free market but we also believe research should be done by those who understand the local laws and land titles in Texas. Shouldn't the profits from title premiums stay in Texas rather than go to Wall Street investors?

Texans should make the conscious decision to do business with Independenet Title Agents.

Underwriters are neccesary to the Title process and perform invaluable services including educating Title Agents and providing sound Underwiting decisions. Underwriters (along with the Title Agents) incur the risk of insuring the title to real property and paying claims when title defects occurs.

In Texas by law, Underwriter's earn 15% of Premiums and Agents earn 85%. If you are both Underwriter and Agent i. e. "Directs" then you earn 100%. This is the reason for the proliferation of Underwriter owned Directs operations in Texas.

Now is the time for Texans to take a stand and put the (85%) Title Premiums in Texas businesses by doing business with Independent Title Agents.

As consumers, how do we know if we are working with an Independent Agent? How do you know if the title research for your property is being done here in Texas or overseas in India, China, Indonesia or Belize?

Now it's easy. Go to: TitlewithTexans/ClosingLocations and select an Independent Agent in your area. By doing so, you know you will be working with Independent Agents who perform the title research right here in Texas.

Title Insurance is a regulated industry and the only products we sell are title searches and Title Policies. Why not make sure the title products you buy are done by those most familiar with records in the county where your property is being bought or sold. You have a choice. Choose an Independent Agent.
