Wally, it does not surprise me in the least that you are the one to get
me the answer.

A "Bond for Title" is an agreement to make title in the future or an
executory or incomplete sale.

I'm usually fairly good with land instruments, but I have been stumped
by one.  In a county deed index the instrument is called a "B. for
Title" and in other places "B. for T."  Can someone educate me on this
before I lose my mind?  We have an educated guess, but I am hoping for
something more definitive.  I just called the local County Clerk's
office, and they could not help.  It is being used in conjunction with
the sale of town lots by the Commissioners and Trustees of a town in
Texas in 1846.

 

Thanks,
