Title insurance protects your private property rights against financial loss caused by defects in real estate titles. Let’s say your family saves enough to buy your dream home only to find out that the previous owner didn’t pay their contractor when remodeling the kitchen and now the contractor has a lien on the house, but the previous owner never disclosed this to you. If you have title insurance, you’re protected. Your title company will defend you in court if a claim arises against your property and will pay for covered losses.

Thankfully, Texas’ title system leads the nation and sets a standard and model for the nation!
