In Liberty County, the deed lives at the Clerk's, not the appraisal district

People mix these two up all the time. The Liberty Central Appraisal District tracks values for the tax roll — useful, but it isn't where your land's legal paper trail sits. The recorded deeds, liens, easements, and the plats that drew the subdivision lines are kept by the County Clerk, Lee Haidusek Chambers, in Room 209 of the courthouse at 1923 Sam Houston in Liberty. There's a second counter at the courthouse annex, 304 Campbell Street in Cleveland.

The clerk's office runs an Official Public Records search you can pull up online, plus eRecording for filing new instruments. That's the lane for chasing down a chain of title, settling an old deed question, or laying a fresh survey alongside the recorded plat to see whether the fence really sits where the line does.

So when a title issue comes up, sort the question first: a value or exemption dispute goes to the CAD, but anything about who owns what and where the lines run is the Clerk's record. The Cleveland annex saves a drive if you're up on the north end of the county.
