Template of Texas Foreclosure Leads

This template automates the search for distressed property leads on official county clerk websites. It inputs a specific date range (e.g., the last 5 days) and filters for "Lis Pendens" or "Notice of Default" filings.

It extracts the messy legal data—including instrument numbers, party names, and legal descriptions—providing the raw material for an AI agent to structure into a readable lead report for investors.

Platform: County Clerk / Public Records Sites (e.g., Tarrant County, Harris County)

Data Points:

• Instrument / Case Number
• Filing Date
• Grantor (Homeowner) & Grantee (Lender/Bank)
• Legal Description (Lot, Block, Subdivision)
• Document Link (PDF)

• Run via n8n: This template is triggered by the "Monitor real estate filings" workflow when a user requests a filing check (e.g., "Check filings for the last week").
• Provide Input: Map the calculated From Date and To Date variables to the template's input fields.
• Output: The template returns a JSON list of all matching filings found within that window.
• Next Steps: The raw text is cleaned by an AI agent to fix name formatting and generate download links for Telegram.

• First Mover Advantage: Contact homeowners weeks or months before the property hits the foreclosure auction or MLS.
• Wholesaling: Identify motivated sellers who need a quick cash exit to avoid credit damage.
• Automated Monitoring: Replace hours of manual searching on slow government websites with a single chat command.

This template is a dependency for the n8n workflow: Monitor real estate filings via Telegram, BrowserAct and Gemini. It provides the critical legal data that defines the "pre-foreclosure" lead.
