The clerk's index is a starting point, not a title search

When a Hood County property changes hands, accepted deeds and other real-property papers enter the County Clerk's records at 201 W. Bridge St. in Granbury. The CAD sets values; the clerk maintains recorded instruments and the public index. That index can be searched from home.

The index is a starting point, not a promise that every interest or debt is visible. The clerk does not perform or certify a complete lien search. For a sale or inheritance, a recorded deed or filed lien is useful evidence, but it is not a title opinion, survey, or legal advice.
