Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

original mortgage papers

I obtained a home equity loan several years ago, and as I was cleaning out an old filing cabinet I came across my original mortgage papers and they are stamped paid with a letter from the mortgage stating that my mortgage was paid in full. Shouldn't the home equity mortgage company have these and not me?

No. The papers are yours. The home equity company got a title policy that provides satisfaction that your old loan is paid in full.
