Capital Title of Texas – Victoria Crossroads N Main St, Victoria

This company not only held up the closing of our home, BUT released the title knowing it had a lien on it. Now due to this incompetence we are responsible for the lien in the grand amount of $4,550. I've tried several times to communicate with them via email (which remain unanswered), and the address listed is CLOSED!

DO NOT USE and here is why..... Initial title papers that came to us after the initial offer was accepted referred to my husband as “Wife” and not spouse. I made a note on the paperwork that this was 2020 and they needed to update their paperwork and that if this was not corrected by closing their would be an issue...it was corrected. Four days prior to closing I asked my real estate agent if a time had been scheduled for closing (I was worried since the title company we were using for closing on the Austin house we were buying had been in constant contact and had scheduled closing two weeks out.) and I was informed that Capital aka Crossroads had YET to clear the title even though the contract deadline had passed. I was told Capital was unsure how to handle my divorce from five years prior. Once I engaged the aid of a real estate attorney, I was miraculously told the tile was cleared but still had not received ANY communication from Capital about closing other than they had cleared the title. Since I was long distance I was asking for a closing where we were now located all communicated via my real estate agent, but still no direct communication from Capital. I was finally told by my real estate agent that they were going to ask our title company in Austin to do a “courtesy closing”. Capital never contacted the title company in Austin to ask for the “courtesy closing” but instead just faxed the paperwork. Our title company in AustIn confirmed this for us and thank goodness the title company in Austin helped us since they left my husband off the majority of the paperwork. Thankfully the Austin title company had him sign and added his name to the paperwork. Once we had signed the paperwork, I noticed two days later that the funds from the sale had not been wired to my bank account. STILL NO COMMUNICATION FROM CAPITAL. Once my bank and real estate agent got involved, I was told there was some problem wIth funding but did not receive the wire transfer until very late that afternoon. I repeat DO NOT USE. Not professional, not communicative. Sloppy work.

Terrible experience! Handled my closing pooly, next to no communication, ran into and issue they called "unfixable" when a solution was found they had scare off my buyer and ruined my closing!

Wish I could give zero stars. The most unprofessional group of people I’ve dealt with in Texas.
