Land and property
A capability inside Nexus Prism, not a separate product. Available on a seat, or as a data feed.
What it resolves
Ownership structures. County appraisal records joined to corporate registries, so an LLC on a deed resolves to its officers, its registered agent, and the other entities that share them.
Shell-company patterns. A corporation or trust holding single-family residential property is a conduct signal with a real laundering literature behind it, and it is visible only when you can see the entity type and the property type together.
Transaction anomalies. No-lien deeds, high-value cash purchases, rapid acquisition by one owner, addresses shared across unrelated owners, appraisal outliers, and holdings spanning several counties.
Cross-jurisdiction holdings, and the corporate chains that connect them.
Scored on the deed, never on the owner
This is the pillar where we got it wrong, found it ourselves, and fixed it, so the rule here is specific rather than general.
Every scoring input is a fact recorded in the instrument. How the property was paid for, what legal form holds title, where the owner receives mail, whether the transfer is recent, whether land value exists without improvements. Not who the owner is, and not anything inferred from their name.
What was removed, in September 2026:
- 4,059,250 rows of surname-and-geography inferred ethnicity, gender and nationality, and the index built to make ranking by it fast
- A religion proxy derived from the owner's choice of mortgage lender, which was worth more points than any conduct flag in the model
- A ranking key in which inferred ethnicity contributed three points to which entities an analyst saw first
- The 13,801 scores that had already been served to subscribers, withdrawn from the published feed after the fact
The full account is on the why-different page. It is on the product pages rather than in a compliance appendix because a buyer in this pillar is exposed to the Fair Housing Act and ECOA through the tools they use, and needs to know what ours does.
Legal form is still resolved — individual, corporate, trust or government — because that is written on the deed and it is what the shell-company signal is computed from.
SB 17 screening
Texas Property Code §§5.251-5.259 restricts certain foreign ownership of real property. The lawful screen turns on domicile, entity control and majority ownership — facts about a company and its control chain.
It does not turn on a name, and a surname tells you none of the three. The Fufeng case near Grand Forks was made on corporate ownership and a map.
This screen is in development and is not yet orderable. It has a hard prerequisite: the deed-date field in the source records contains impossible years — 8201, 7791 — and a screen running under a criminal-penalty statute cannot sit on a date field nobody has cleaned. That work comes first.
What this is not
Not a source of ownership truth. County records lag, contain transcription errors, and disagree with each other. We surface the conflict rather than picking a winner.
Not investigation for hire. Research and analysis. Texas Occupations Code §1702.101.
