Observation is kept short and tied to known schedules, and much of the background work happens through county records rather than in the field.
Land, property and agricultural records
Questions in and around Post often involve land: who owns a parcel, what liens exist, whether equipment or livestock were transferred. Deeds in Texas are recorded with the county recorder or register of deeds, and investigators work from those records rather than online summaries.
