Bexar County Clerk Releases Free Vanguard Property Alert Service

According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes. Real property fraud occurs when a party fraudulently records documents against your property for financial gain or to take over ownership without your knowledge. It is a fast-growing crime as damaging as identity theft, with the added risk of losing your property.

The Honorable Lucy Adame-Clark and staff of the Bexar County Clerk’s Office are proud to announce the Vanguard Property Alert – a free real property alert system for all property owners in Bexar County.
