Sources
Every row comes from a public record you can open.
We read these Harris County sources every weekday morning and match each filing to a parcel on the appraisal roll. Below are the actual last-7-day counts from our own database.
| Source | What it tells you | How we place the property | Last 7 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harris County Clerk: foreclosure postings | A lender has posted a Notice of Trustee's Sale: the sale date, the borrower, the lender and the original loan. | We read the property address off the scanned notice and confirm it against the appraisal roll. | 113 |
| Harris County Clerk: real property records (lis pendens) | A lawsuit naming the property, usually an HOA collecting dues. | Subdivision, section, lot and block from the index, matched to the appraisal roll. | 43 |
| Harris County Probate Courts | An estate has been opened for someone who died. | Decedent name against the appraisal roll's owners. Only a single residential match counts, and it is marked Verify. | 66 |

What we don't do
We don't log in, solve captchas or get around any site's controls. Sources that sit behind one are left out: the County Attorney's delinquent-tax search, the City of Houston's dangerous-building agendas and its weekly permit files.
We don't add phone numbers or emails for homeowners. We don't show owners the appraisal district withholds, and we remove any property whose owner asks: owner opt-out.
