The hour you never get back

You already know where the time goes.

Nothing about running a chain of title is intellectually hard. It is just long, and the cost of one missed provision compounds quietly for months.

At the window

Pull it, then pay for it

Every instrument in the chain comes off the clerk's terminal or the microfilm reader, a dollar a page, and a fifteen page lease is fifteen dollars of paper you still have to read.

At the desk

Read it, then type it

A pooling agreement with a forty tract schedule and a participation column is an hour of transcription before you have anything you can sort, filter, or hand to a client.

Three months later

Catch what does not add up

A tract sum that misses the stated unit acreage by thirteen acres is exactly the kind of thing that surfaces later, in somebody else's title opinion, with your name on the runsheet.

Upload to export

Five stages, one pass.

The document goes in as a PDF. What comes out is a reviewed abstract you can file, sort, or send.

Upload

Drop in the recorded PDF, scanned or native.

Classify

It identifies the instrument type before it reads a field.

Extract

Every material field, with the page it was read from.

Reconcile

Acreage sums, dates, and party roles get checked. Mismatches are flagged, not hidden.

Export

TXT, CSV, Excel, or a PDF abstract, citations included.

Four instrument types

It reads the documents that carry the chain.

Each type has its own extraction pass, its own field set, and its own reconciliation checks. These four extract today. Anything else is classified as Other and is not extracted.

The arithmetic

A dollar a page to photocopy it. Twenty-six cents a page to abstract it.

Texas sets the county clerk's fee for a noncertified copy at one dollar per page or part of a page. The reduced ten cent electronic rate does not reach real property records, which is exactly what a recorded lease is. So a fifteen page lease costs fifteen dollars at the window, and what you get for it is paper.

Tex. Loc. Gov't Code sec. 118.011(a)(4), sec. 118.0145. Fees vary by county for certified copies, e-filing, and records preservation. The one dollar noncertified page rate is statutory.

15 page lease, noncertified copy at the clerk's window$15.00

One page of the uploaded PDF is one page of credit. The trial grant of 50 pages is enough to run a short chain end to end.

Plainly stated

What it is not.

A tool that oversells itself in the demo costs you time in the review. Here is the honest boundary.

Not a title opinion

It does not opine on title and it does not produce a certified abstract. An attorney's opinion is still an attorney's work product.

Not a replacement for the landman

It reads and it flags. You decide. Every field lands in the workbench with its page citation so you can confirm it against the instrument.

Not guaranteed correct

AI extraction is not perfectly deterministic. Two runs of the same document can differ on incidental fields. Review is part of the workflow, not an optional step after it.

Not every document type

Leases, pooling agreements, amendments, and ratifications extract. Deeds, assignments, releases, and everything else classify as Other and are not extracted.

Pricing

Pay for pages, not seats.

Pages are bought in packs and do not expire on a monthly cycle. There is no subscription and no per user fee.

Trial, 50 pages free

No card. Enough to run a lease, a pooling agreement, and the amendments behind them, and to read the exports before you spend anything.

Questions

Before you upload anything.

What if a field comes back wrong?

Every field is editable in the workbench, and every field shows the page it was read from, so confirming a value is a glance rather than a re-read. Low confidence values and failed reconciliations are flagged so your attention goes where it is needed.

Does it work on old records?

It reads scanned and photocopied PDFs, including handwritten-era filings, though a poor scan of a faded microfilm page is harder for the model in the same way it is harder for you. Recording stamps and marginal notations are read where they are legible.

What comes out at the end?

A text abstract, a CSV and an Excel workbook with one row per field including page citations and flags, and a PDF abstract laid out to read like a filed document. The CSV is the one to hand to a database, the PDF is the one to hand to a client.

Run one lease through it and judge it on the export.

Fifty pages, no card, no call. If the abstract does not hold up against the instrument, you have lost ten minutes.
