Fragmented Warranty Deed Listings Across Texas Properties
A garbled OCR record lists numerous warranty deeds and related financial terms referencing properties in Bexar and nearby counties. It mentions names such as Maulding, Patton Furey, Hubert Puttin, John Edward By, and others, with assorted dates, parcel descriptions, and payments including monthly amounts and interest rates.
