What Capital Title of Texas, LLC does

Capital Title of Texas, LLC is a privately held title insurance and escrow services provider founded approximately in 1990 and headquartered in Plano, Texas. The company operates more than 100 branch offices across nine Texas regions — Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, the Rio Grande Valley, Northeast Texas, the Coastal Bend, the Golden Triangle, and Central Texas — and is owned by Bill Shaddock, who serves as Owner and Chief Executive Officer. Capital Title claims to be the Largest Independent Title Company in the United States and was ranked #1 among title companies in North Texas and Houston by the Dallas Business Journal and Houston Business Journal in August 2024. The company serves both residential and commercial real estate customers through two primary divisions: residential title and escrow services (covering homebuyers, sellers, REALTORS, lenders, builders, and real estate professionals) and National Commercial Operations (NCO), which handles complex commercial transactions including apartment communities, office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, construction projects, farm/ranch properties, and multi-site/multi-state portfolios.

The product set spans core title insurance and escrow services plus sub-product lines for lending institutions, REO/foreclosure closings, and reverse mortgage transactions. Supporting technology includes Capital Close, an online transaction tracking platform offering 24/7 visibility into REO and foreclosure workflows, and Flueid PRO, a property data and farming tool used by real estate professionals. The firm also operates a continuing education (CE) training program delivering 40+ TREC-approved courses for Texas real estate professionals at $40 per participant per course. Distribution is exclusively through the direct office network and dedicated business development representatives; no resellers, brokers, or third-party distribution channels are referenced.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees on title insurance premiums and escrow services, supplemented by per-course CE training fees. The commercial division (NCO) markets itself nationally, while residential services are concentrated in Texas. Management includes several senior executives with 25–50+ years of title industry experience drawn from prior roles at Title Insurance & Trust, Pioneer Title, TICOR Title, Commerce Title, LandAmerica, Safeco Land Title, First American Title, and Chicago Title. No parent company, institutional investor, funding history, M&A activity, or detailed cap table is publicly disclosed.
