Texas Deed Fraud Schemes, The Resort Lot Trap & Words That Get You Banned on Social Media
This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they expose the rising threat of Texas deed fraud and how scammers use "dormant" properties and shell companies to steal home equity. They detail the critical legal process under the Texas Government Code for using an expedited, ex parte judicial review to void fraudulent filings without a lengthy quiet title lawsuit. They also dive into the "Resort Property" trap, explaining how developers target buyers with low-cost land only to bury them in high HOA fees for amenities that never arrive. Finally, they wrap up with a rant on social media "shadowbanning" and how certain keywords can cause content to be suppressed by platform algorithms.
