For Texas property owners
Did someone file a memorandum of contract on your property?
A title search turned up a memorandum from a deal that fell through, expired, or one you never signed — and the person who filed it won't release it. Texas gives you a statutory way to clear it without their signature. It's an administrative process with exact steps, and we run every one of them.

How the Texas release works
Four steps. The statute sets them; we run them.
Texas Property Code §12.020 lets a property owner record a sworn affidavit that releases a memorandum of contract — provided the property is residential and the memorandum was signed only by the filer. That's why we check first.
We check the filing first
Send us the property and, if you have it, the recorded memorandum. Within one business day we tell you whether §12.020 applies to it — it only reaches residential property and memoranda the owner never signed. No charge for the check.
You swear the release affidavit
The statute prescribes the form. You complete it and sign it with a licensed online notary from your phone — most sessions take five minutes. We record it with your county.
We mail the filer, certified
A copy of your recorded affidavit goes by certified mail, return receipt, to the person who filed the memorandum and anyone else it names. Then we record the sworn certificate of that mailing.
The 45-day window runs
From the day the certificate records, the filer has 45 days to record a contradicting affidavit. If they don't, a buyer or lender can rely on your release conclusively from day 45. We send you the county-records link to check, and we check too.
What $249 covers. Your online notary session, both county recordings (the affidavit and the certificate of mailing), certified mail with return receipt to every person the memorandum names, and tracking through the 45-day window — with the recorded documents on your dashboard to hand to your title company.
What it doesn't do. It doesn't decide whether the filer's contract is valid — the affidavit says why you believe the memorandum should be released, in your own words, and the filer can record a contradicting affidavit within 45 days. If they do, the release doesn't take effect against buyers and lenders, and what happens next is between the two of you. We're not a law firm, and for a live contract dispute you'll want one.
