How Does Land Title Insurance Work in Texas?

Most insurance policies aim to protect you from future catastrophes, such as natural disasters, fires, or theft. Land title insurance policies are designed to protect owners of real estate should unexpected or undisclosed challenges develop in connection to the property’s title and ownership.

Texas’s Department of Insurance aggressively regulates its land title insurance industry. The state requires that all policies’ forms and rates be standardized. This means that land title insurance agents must offer identical costs and coverage. Agents instead differentiate themselves based on the merit of their services.

Owner's Title Policy Cost in Texas

Generally, the seller of the property will pay for the owner’s policy. The borrower or purchaser will pay for the loan policy. The total cost of the policy will be determined by the amount of coverage provided. Texas also mandates that land title insurance premiums be all-inclusive, meaning a one-time fee will cover all costs related to the policy indefinitely. Land title insurance policies are also not taxed.

Purchasing a land title insurance policy can financially protect you in any future ownership disputes, including those involving easements or liens placed on the property. We can answer your questions about land title insurance and evaluate the coverage that you may need.

How We Can Help You Secure Land Title Insurance in Texas
