Be on the lookout for an invoice-type letter being mailed to Amarillo residents. It comes from the official-sounding entity named “STATE RECORD RETRIEVAL BOARD”. The letter (attached) requests a payment in the amount of $87.00 to obtain a copy of the owners’ (Grant) Deed. There is an additional $35.00 fee if the payment is received after the 21 day deadline indicated in the letter.
If you receive this, notice the last two paragraphs on page one of the attachment, “You are under no obligation to pay the amount stated..”.
If you need a copy of your customer’s deed, simply call us, Sue and Ken, and we will assist you. The Warranty Deed and the Deed of Trust are public record and available from the County Clerk’s office of the county in which the property is found.
