Run Title — chain research, running now

Every deed. Every link.
One chain.

The county record, already indexed and already abstracted. Scout searches it, reads the deeds you bring, and assembles the chain of title — showing you the evidence for every link, and waiting on your call before anything counts.

  • Search a name, a book and page, an instrument number or a survey
  • One party, spelled six ways in the county index, resolves to one person

Open a deed and it’s
already pulled apart.

Grantor, grantee, date, book and page, legal description, acreage, consideration — taken off the page and put into fields you can correct. Every value points back at the words it came from.

  • Highlights land on the exact words, at any zoom, on rotated scans
  • Fix a value once and it stays fixed everywhere it appears
  • The linked survey record supplies the legal you'd otherwise write by hand

The deliverable

The opinion writes
itself from the runsheet.

Who owns what, in what fractions, surface and minerals — plus the requirements to clear and the exceptions to take. Every line traces back to the instrument it came from, so a reviewer can check your work instead of taking your word.

  • Vesting with fractions for surface, minerals and royalty
  • Requirements and exceptions built from what the chain actually showed
  • Nothing appears in the opinion that isn't backed by a filed instrument

Hand it off

Send a link.
Get real notes back.

Share a read-only report with an operator, an attorney or a client — no account, no install, nothing to export. Then let them write on the record itself: comments land against the instrument they're about, get replies, and get resolved.

  • Read-only links for reviewers outside your organization
  • Comments attach to an instrument, not to an email thread
  • Replies and resolutions stay with the project for the next examiner

1954 lease was released. Release is at Vol 611 / Pg 88 — flagging it as an exception.

Run Title

Five moves from a bare tract
to a runsheet you’d sign.

Nothing here is a black box. Every step leaves something you can open, argue with, and overrule.

  1. 1

    Start with a name or a book and page

    Search the county record by grantor, grantee, volume and page, instrument number or survey. Names are rebuilt properly, so one man doesn't show up as twenty-four different parties.

  2. 2

    Add whatever you already have

    Drop your PDFs into the project. Scout reads them page by page, pulls the parties, dates, book and page, legal description and acreage, and makes every word searchable.

  3. 3

    Hit Run Title

    Pick an instrument and its legal description, and Scout works outward on its own — following recitals, matching parties and comparing tracts. Candidates land in your runsheet as it finds them, each one showing why.

  4. 4

    Accept or reject each one

    Nothing joins your chain until you say so. Your decision is the strongest evidence in the system, and no automated pass ever overwrites it.

  5. 5

    Hand off the finished work

    Export the runsheet, the chain and the ownership summary — or send a read-only link that an operator, attorney or client can open without an account.

In the workspace

One window.
The whole run.

Search, documents, runsheet, chain, map and chat sit in the same place — so nothing about a tract ends up somewhere the rest of the work can’t see it.

Search the whole record

One field across the indexed county record — by party, book and page, instrument number or survey. Millions of filings, answered while you type.

The runsheet is the desk

Every instrument, its parties and its legal description — editable in place, and where Run Title starts.

See the whole chain

Who took title from whom, which leases and liens sit on top, and exactly where ownership forks.

Deeds read for you

Book and page, parties, dates, legal description and acreage pulled out — searchable to the word.

Tracts on the map

Survey grid and county lines. Click a survey, get the instruments filed against it.

Ask about your project

Chat that can actually search the record, open instruments and kick off research for you.

No surprise bills

Long research runs report their progress, and what a project costs to run is visible while it runs.

Notes and opinions

Findings and exceptions stay attached to the instruments they came from.

Installed for the courthouse, open in a tab for everyone else

The same app in both places, so nothing about a tract lives in a tool that can't see the rest of it.

Work that keeps

Everything you decide
stays decided.

A link you draw, a candidate you throw out, a point of beginning you set, a name you spell right — it all gets saved where the next run will look for it. Work done at the courthouse on a bad connection syncs the moment you’re back.

The second run over a survey is cheaper than the first. So is everyone else’s.

  • 1
    Your call outranks everything

    A landman's decision is the strongest evidence in the system. Nothing automated overwrites it, ever.

  • 2
    Connections stay made

    Accept a link once and the next run over that survey starts with it already in place.

  • 3
    Names improve with use

    Correct a party once and it reads correctly in search, on the runsheet and in every report.

  • 4
    You can see where it came from

    Every connection records its source — including when a cleanup pass, not a county clerk, put it there.

Sovereignty to present owner

Run the whole chain.
Then go close the deal.

Start a project, drop in what you already have, and let Scout go find the rest of it.
