Quick and Cost effective Title search in Texas

[Purva Mehta]

Hello BP community- Can someone recommend a title search company, who can perform a title search for me on an investment property in relatively quick time and at a reasonable price. I am looking for one in and around Houston/Richmond, Katy, Texas area. 

Also is there any difference between title search, preliminary title search and/or abstractors certificate? Want to check if there are any outstanding liens on the property? Generally how far back should I look to go, till sovereignty of the soil/10 years/30 years??? Any insights and/or information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Purva
