For Real Estate Investors & Wholesalers
For wholesalers, flippers, landlords and creative-finance buyers. We find the public records that show an owner may need to sell, tie each one to the property and owner, stack them, score them and deliver the new ones every morning.
Test keys open the sample. Working keys belong to account holders.

Counts are what we deliver today (2026-11-05), not estimates. See Coverage for every county.
When a record ties to a parcel in a county where we have the appraisal file, it carries the owner's name and mailing address, absentee and out-of-state flags, property value, deed date and the other records on the same property, so you can stack signals and spot the owners with more than one reason to sell.
How stacking and the score work
We put every record on the same property together, then score the property. The score is rules, not AI, and it is the same for every customer:
- 2 points for each different kind of record on the property. Five code cases on one house count once; a code case plus a tax suit counts twice.
- Extra points for the serious ones: +2 for a tax suit, a probate case or a foreclosure, +1 for an eviction, +1 for a code case marked severe.
- +1 for each kind of record filed in the last 30 days.
- Owner points: +1 absentee owner, +1 out-of-state owner, +1 over-65 exemption, +1 owned 15 years or more.
- A court case matched to the property by owner name only counts half, and the row is marked "possible (name only)" so you know to check it.
- Closed code cases that were not severe, and mineral and business personal-property tax accounts, are left out.
Properties with more than one reason to sell rise to the top. Every file is sorted by score, highest first. Read more in How to stack distress signals.
Who it's for
Wholesalers and flippers
The stacking is manual today — a code list here, a tax list there, probate somewhere else, matched up by hand. Agentix automates it: code violations, tax delinquency, probate and foreclosure arrive stacked on the same property and scored every morning, so the owners most likely to sell sit at the top of your day before the big list services refresh.
Landlords and buy-and-hold
Tired landlords never advertise — their eviction filings show it. Agentix surfaces eviction filings automatically every morning, with absentee and out-of-state flags, deed dates and values: owners who have held a rental a long time and may want out, without your team digging through court records by hand.
Creative-finance buyers
Your deals live on pressure — posted foreclosure notices, tax suits, divorce and probate. Finding them today means courthouse-by-courthouse digging. Agentix ties each one to the property and delivers the new ones every morning: the pressure points arrive on their own; you just work them.
Foreclosure professionals
Posted trustee-sale notices with sale date, lender, trustee and deed of trust date where the notice states them, plus Harris County foreclosure suits, delivered every morning — not in a monthly batch you race everyone else through.
Agents and acquisitions teams
A daily list of new filings by county, delivered as a file or straight into your CRM — no list to buy, scrub or load. It lands ready to work every morning.
Data and software companies
A wholesale feed of Texas court and city records by API, with the property and owner already attached — the matching and stacking your platform would otherwise have to build and maintain in-house, running as a feed instead.
Why it's different
- Fresh. We pull every morning. Each record has its filing date and the date we first saw it.
- Court records other platforms don't carry, like Harris County evictions, probate and divorce filings.
- Tied to the property. Court cases about people are delivered only when we can tie them to a property, and a name-only match is marked "possible."
- Collected the right way. Openly published files and open-data portals only. Confidential owners are left out.
How it's delivered
- Saved filters. Account holders choose counties, record types, property type, value range, years owned, a minimum score, absentee or out-of-state owners only, and "only properties with something new today." Each saved filter becomes its own file every morning.
- A daily email with download links, about 7:30 a.m. Central.
- CSV files that open in Excel or Google Sheets and load into your CRM, dialer or mail tool. Your account page keeps them for 35 days.
- An API key for account holders, for pulling straight into your own software. See the API docs.
