What a Dallas Property DNA Report Includes
Our Property DNA Reports compile publicly available property information from Dallas County and surrounding county records. The report typically includes ownership history, tax information, property characteristics, and other relevant data compiled from public sources. The report is designed to give you a head start on understanding the property before you open a formal title order or make an offer.

What Property DNA Is Not
A Property DNA Report is not title insurance, a title commitment, a title search, or a legal ownership opinion. It does not confirm clear title, find hidden liens (beyond publicly available tax and assessment information), or replace the work of a licensed title company. Always order a proper title search and obtain title insurance when purchasing real estate.
