Re: Attorney

Good question. Depending on the speed and efficiency of the County Clerk's office where the deed should have been recorded, your attorney might not have the deed back yet. You can call the office of the County Clerk in the County where the land is located, and ask them whether it has been recorded, and request a copy or a certified copy. The copy is likely to cost you a dollar a page, and the certification might be an extra $5.00.

If you ever believe that an attorney has acted unethically, you should check out the State Bar of Texas' web site at http://www.texasbar.com/Template.cfm?Section=Client_Assistance_and_Grievance&Template=/TaggedPage/TaggedPageDisplay.cfm&TPLID=51&ContentID=7034.
