The chain of title to Navarro County land lives with the County Clerk

Every time a piece of Navarro County land changes hands, gets borrowed against, or has a lien filed on it, the document gets recorded with the County Clerk at the courthouse in Corsicana. That office keeps the real-property records (deeds, deeds of trust, tax liens, affidavits, and UCC filings) and its searchable index reaches back to 1974, so you can usually trace a property's recent history yourself before you ever pay anyone.

What these records show is what's been put on the public record, which is a different thing from what a property is worth or where its lines actually run. The appraisal district sets the value, a survey draws the boundary, and a title company gives a legal opinion. The clerk's file just tells you what's been recorded against the property: who deeded it, who holds a lien, whether there's a recorded easement.

For most buyers and heirs that's the right first stop, not the last one. If a recorded document touches a sale, an estate, a boundary, a mineral interest, or a foreclosure, pull the clerk's record to see what's there, then take it to a title company or real-estate attorney before you rely on it. A recorded deed can still be wrong, and only a professional read sorts that out.
