Dallas–Fort Worth
Texas records no loan amount. We read the instrument.
A Texas county clerk indexes who borrowed from whom and on which lot — never how much or until when. Circlemark reads every commercial deed of trust recorded in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties for the stated principal and maturity, ties it to the appraisal-district parcel, and keeps it current against releases, trustee's deeds and foreclosure notices every week.

What is different about Texas
- No amount in the index. The principal is on page one of the recorded deed of trust; we read it with a vision model and cite the page. Below $1M is left out of the product.
- Maturity is a defined term. Texas commercial deeds of trust usually recite a “Maturity Date” because the four-year post-maturity foreclosure limit makes title underwriters insist on it. Where it is absent we model the term by lender type and say so.
- Non-judicial foreclosure. A trustee's-sale notice is posted with the clerk 21 days before the first Tuesday of the month. Dallas County's notices are captured monthly and matched to the loan they cite; a substitute trustee's deed marks the loan foreclosed.
- Parcels from the appraisal district. Owner of record and mailing address, units, lot size, square footage and value come from DCAD, Collin CAD, Denton CAD and TAD, matched to each recorded instrument's legal description. What a district withholds, we do without: TAD publishes no assessed value, so Tarrant rows carry no loan-to-value. Denton CAD and TAD publish no building class either, so an office, warehouse or retail type there is our estimate from what is at the address, marked ≈ and never written over a district's own classification — see how Texas property types are read.
- Securitized loans disclosed. Public CMBS (SEC ABS-EE), HUD-insured multifamily, and Freddie Mac securitized loans (read weekly from every deal's offering circular) carry their own stated maturities, DSCR and servicing status and are matched to the recorded instrument.

Research on this market
- Who lends on Texas commercial real estate: the 25 most active lenders in Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin (2026)
The lenders behind 15,985 commercial mortgages recorded in Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin over the last three years, ranked by what they funded, by county, property type and loan size — and why no lender owns Texas the way one owns New York.
- How to find the owner of a commercial property in Texas, even behind an LLC (2026)
Texas is the opposite of New York: the state itself publishes who runs an LLC. The appraisal district names the owner of record and a mailing address, the Comptroller's franchise-tax search lists the officers and managers every LLC must report each year, and the deed of trust's signature page names who committed the entity to the loan. Where each one is, what it costs (one search is $1, the rest are free), and which one reaches a decision-maker.
- Why every warehouse in Denton and Tarrant County is filed as 'commercial' — and how we read past it (2026)
Denton County showed 9 industrial loans. It has hundreds. Texas's two commercial classes put every warehouse, clinic and office under F1, and two of DFW's four districts publish nothing finer. What the codes mean, what vendors do with them, and how we estimate a type from the businesses on record.
- DFW's 2026 maturity wall, county by county: $13.3B stated, $12.5B already past due
A per-county data brief on Dallas–Fort Worth's commercial mortgage maturity wall — stated maturities only, read from the recorded deeds of trust: 1,197 loans and $13.3B coming due in 12 months across Dallas, Tarrant and Collin counties, 1,033 loans and $12.5B already matured and still open. Texas doesn't disclose the price. It does disclose the loan.
