A Property DNA Report is not title insurance, a title commitment, a title search, or a legal ownership opinion.
Before you buy, before you invest, know more about the property. 1st Option Title's Property DNA Reports are a free resource available to anyone researching Texas real estate.
What a Property DNA Report Includes
Our Property DNA Reports compile publicly available property information including ownership history, tax records, property characteristics, and other relevant data. The report is designed to give you a head start on understanding the property before you open title 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, or replace the work of a title company. It is an informational research report that helps you make informed decisions early in the process. Always order a proper title search and obtain title insurance when purchasing real estate.

FAQs
Is Property DNA really free?
Yes. 1st Option Title provides Property DNA Reports at no charge. There is no obligation to use our title services.
Can Property DNA find liens on a property?
A Property DNA Report provides publicly available tax and assessment information but should not be relied upon to identify all liens, judgments, or encumbrances. Only a proper title search conducted by a licensed title company can provide definitive information about the condition of title.
