Legal description: BEING LOT 5 BLOCK 3 OF W.C. DAVIS, SR. SUBDIVISION, AN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF DESOTO, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN VOLUME 17, PAGE 209, MAP RECORDS, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.. Read from the Dallas Central Appraisal District record.

This Dallas residential property in Desoto was appraised by the county at $215,320 and is a 1,134-square-foot home built in 1957, which gives an investor a clear starting point for underwriting a smaller, established house. The filing is the first foreclosure notice on record here, and the owner has held title since 2023, so this is a fresh file worth reviewing for timing and property condition. The spread versus the original recorded mortgage cannot be stated from the data provided, and what still must be verified is the original recorded mortgage amount and title status.

The county splits its $215,320 appraisal into $55,000 of land and $160,320 of improvements, so roughly 26% of the assessed value is the dirt rather than the structure. At 1,134 square feet that is about $190 per foot of county value. The structure dates to 1957, making it about 69 years old. The notice was recorded with the Dallas County clerk on October 29, 2026.

Derived from the figures and the notice above, and not restated here. What the research adds is the reconstruction: the deeds behind the ownership, the mortgage chain with its assignments and releases, every lien recorded against the parcel, and the document each one came from.
