Title insurance: what it is and what it isn’t

4

Jan.2013


Enterprising Voices

An extremely high per-centage of real estatesales and financing

transactions involve the issuanceof a title insurance policy ofsome type. In dealing withclients in residential or commer-cial transactions, I have foundthat most consumers of titleinsurance products do not fullyunderstand what title insuranceis, why they acquire it, and whatbenefits are conferred upon theinsured in the event of a titledefect. This article will addresssome common misconceptionsabout title insurance and explainwhat it is and what it isn’t.

Title insurance is anAmerican idea. It is a contract ofindemnity, which is predomi-nantly used in the U.S. to insurea property owner or lender fromdefects in title, which may affectthe owner’s or lender’s interestin a particular parcel of real

estate. There are two primarycomponents of title insurance.First, it provides the insured anattorney — and other costs of“defense” — to represent theinsured and the insured’s inter-est in the property which may beunder legal attack. Secondly, inthe event that the insured actu-ally sustains a covered loss, titleinsurance will remedy the prob-lem, reinsure the risk or com-pensate the insured for anydamages sustained therefrom.

Prior to title insurance being

readily available, owners, poten-tial buyers, and lenders had torely upon title abstracts in orderto know or understand whatinterest they had — or wereacquiring — in a particular par-cel of real estate. An abstract oftitle was simply a summary ofthe relevant documents whichhad been filed of record throughthe date of inquiry and whichmay have some effect on the titleto the subject property. Most ofthe time an abstract wouldinclude or reference the particu-lar documents affecting title andthe recording information of thedocuments. It was up to theowner, potential buyer or lenderto review the abstract and deter-mine for itself whether the inter-est conveyed or to be conveyedwas acceptable. However, a titleabstract in and of itself providedthe intended user with little orno remedy in the event it was

not correct. Sellers, buyers, andlenders had to allocate theresponsibility for any undis-closed title defects through thewarranties contained in the deedor the security agreements.

Title insurance typicallyinsures fee simple ownership inreal property or the priority ofthe lender’s lien with respect tothe property secured by suchlien. However, other incidents ofreal estate ownership may beinsured, such as easements, leas-es or life estates. With the prolif-eration of oil and gas productionin urban areas over the past 20years, newer title insurance poli-cies typically will not insure titleto the mineral estate of realproperty. However, there arecertain endorsements that maybe obtained to insure certaintypes of surface improvementsagainst interference from themineral estate.

There are two basic types oftitle insurance policies. One typeof policy insures the owner ofthe real property against certaintitle defects (owner’s policy). Theother type of policy insures alender’s interest in real property,which is securing the repaymentof a loan (mortgagee’s policy).Most lenders require the owneror borrower to purchase themortgagee’s policy of title insur-ance for the lender as a condi-tion of making any loan securedby real property. However, theacquisition of an owner’s policyof title insurance is simply amatter of choice on the part ofthe owner or potential buyer ofreal property. While some folksbelieve that it is customary forthe seller to pay for the owner’spolicy premium, the payment ofthe owner’s policy is subject to

“We expect boom-bust cyclesof greed and fear to continue forseveral years. The market is like-ly to be range-bound, exhibitingpowerful rallies and sharp cor-rections along the way, but withlittle net movement overall. Insuch a market, passive ‘buy andhold’ investment strategies thatflourished in the bull market ofthe 1980s and 1990s would lan-guish.”

— This column “Prosperingin Range-Bound Markets”,

July 2011

When we penned theabove-quoted articlein July 2011, the

S&P 500 index stood at 1,350and the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage hovered near 12,700. Inthe 18 months since, these mar-ket indices have only netted acouple percent. But as if toprove our article’s point, thisperiod witnessed four powerfulcorrections and rallies, with

market swings as big as 25 per-cent!

As value investors, our focusis on finding great companiestrading at bargain prices, notprognosticating about markets.But our — so far, accurate —view that markets would berange-bound was shaped by therecognition that financial mar-kets are being battered by twopowerful but opposing forces:aggressively inflationary policiesbeing pursued by governmentsand central banks keen to “stim-ulate” the economy, vs. the defla-tionary overhang of massive

debts owed by individuals, cor-porations, and nations. Thisarticle continues that discussionand its implications for invest-ment strategy.

The willingness of our FederalReserve to execute this war onsavers by artificially suppressinginterest rates through continu-ous money printing has beenquite shocking. As we havenoted in past columns, highquality world-dominating divi-dend growers have definitelycaught a bid in this age of zero-rate-interest-policies (ZIRP) bythe Fed. But they are not alonein these efforts. Coordinatedpolicies by the Fed, theEuropean Central Bank, theBank of Japan, The Bank ofEngland and the ChinesePolitburo have unleashed atsunami of Dollars, Yen, Euros,Pounds and Yuan into the mar-ketplace. It seems clear thatthese policy makers are unwill-ing to force poorly capitalized

entities — be they individual,corporate, or sovereign — totake the hard medicine of pay-ing for their debt-fueled binge ofthe 2000s. Instead, govern-ments the world over appear tobe on the same page: we’regoing to print away all that debtand debase our currencies.

Recently we reviewed somedata compiled by VanHoisington, a very successfulbond manager out of Austin.Given, he is a bond manager, sohe may be talking his book. Buthis observations were striking.Like us, he believes the world isbogged down in debt and ittakes a long time for this to cor-rect. He points to numerousstudies that show debt over-hangs translate into “soggyinterest rates and flaccid eco-nomic growth that last an aver-age of 23 years across the 26episodes studied. Large govern-ments funded by massiveindebtedness squat over their

economies and stunt theirgrowth. Such barely breathingmarkets exhale low interestrates”.

Twenty-three years! The waron savers could march on forquite a while yet. Holders ofcash, CDs, money marketaccounts and bonds will seenear-zero yields for a while.Adjusted for inflation, such fixedincome assets will likely losemuch purchasing power.

That is worrisome indeed aswe are only five years into thisescapade. We do not subscribewhole-heartedly to Hoisington’spoints of view. But based on theactions of the policy makers atlarge, it is clear we’re far fromout of the woods. Eventually, theliquidity-spiked punch bowl willhave to be taken away and theinflationary hangover could besevere. In the meantime, ourview is that markets have a highlikelihood of being range-boundover the next 5-10 years. Itwould not shock us at all to seeanother 40-50 percent sell off

DentonBusinessChronicleWar stories always involve a war. A

nasty divorce resolved by a courthouse showdown can destroy the family, the family’s estate and the family’s busi-ness. Sit down with any experienced family law trial lawyer and they will be able to tell you “war stories” of court-room shootouts where a warring family ended up destroying the very estate they were trying to divide. The worst of these divorce war stories may end with a business or personal bankruptcy. When a divorce becomes a “war” there are many casualties.

Collaborative divorce – divide without destruction. There is a better way for families to make decisions regarding their children and divide their estate in a divorce. That better way is called a collaborative law divorce. In a collaborative law divorce, the parties opt to stay out of the courthouse and focus on solving problems through business-like negotiations versus assessing blame for problems in adversarial litigation. The collaborative process is a legally recog-nized process, and is used in other types of litigation, not just divorce cases.

Overview of the collaborative process.The collaborative process is a solution-oriented settlement process that is both family friendly and business friendly. In the collaborative law process the parties and their lawyers sign a written agreement with five key components:(1.) A commitment to settle if possible without going to court; (2.) A commitment to the full disclosure of financial and other information so that informed settlement decisions can be made; (3.) A commitment to focus on the future and solving problems instead of assessing blame and rehashing old marital arguments; (4.) A commitment to use jointly selected neutral experts when valuation, tax or accounting experts are needed or if specialized experts are needed to resolve issues concerning the children; and (5.) A commitment from the lawyers that they cannot and will not represent the parties in a courthouse battle if the process breaks down. Legally a divorce is either a collaborative divorce or it is not. A collab-orative divorce is a confidential divorce.

The collaborative process uses a “team” approach to solve problems.The collaborative process uses a “team” approach to solve problems. In addition to a business like step-by-step approach to dispute resolution, the collaborative pro-cess also often takes a “team” approach. In many collaborative cases in addition to the parties and their two attorneys, the parties will jointly employ a neutral mental health professional and a neutral financial professional to help the parties agree on a parenting plan and to identify the estate. These professionals are vital to the success of the collaborative divorce process.Under the team approach a neutral mental health professional serves as a “communi-

cations facilitator” and “runs” the meetings. A neutral financial professional serves as a neutral financial expert for the document gathering and identification of the estate. The usual role of the neutral mental health professional is to manage the emotional issues of the case, keep the parties and lawyers communicating constructively and help the parties work through issues

involving their children or other emotionally charged situations.

The usual role of the neutral financial expert is to gather, analyze and explain financial and tax information, and prepare invento-ries, spreadsheets, budgets, income and expense projections and other similar finan-cial tools. Additionally, financial profession-als assist the parties in evaluating the short and long term financial effects of settlement options and help generate financial solu-tions and settlement options.

Collaborative neutrals help settle cases. Because the mental health and financial professionals used in the collabora-tive process are neutrals, they provide the negotiating process with a neutral voice

throughout the process. Many times a solu-tion can be seen or suggested by a neutral that cannot be seen by the parties who are engrossed in their own perspectives and positions. Additionally, sometimes a suggestion for resolving the dispute can be more easily heard by the parties when it comes from a neutral voice rather than one of the parties or their lawyers.

Having neutral professionals as part of the collaborative process is what allows conflict between the parties to be resolved constructively. As opposed to adversarial divorces, a collaborative divorce involving neutral professionals provides a construc-tive place for conflict between the parties to be identified, managed and handled.

Benefi ts of the collaborative process. There can be manybenefi ts to working through a diffi cult divorce in the collaborative process. Benefi ts of the collaborative process include:

• Dividing the estate of the family in a way that does not destroy the source of the estate or the family members in the process.

• Providing the parties and their business with a more private and confidential atmosphere than the traditional litigation process.

• Helping the parties reach financial solutions that are thoughtfully custom-crafted to meet the needs of the family versus a “one-size fits all” approach.

• Legal fees and professional expenses are more efficiently used, fees are spent solely on settlement efforts and not on procedural, evidentiary and other legal technicalities required in the litigation process – the process is far less expensive than contested litigation.

• Settlement conferences and meetings are scheduled when convenient for the parties instead of being centered around the lawyers schedule and the court’s busy docket.

• The collaborative process is less disruptive to the businessperson and their staff, clients and investors.• The process can take weeks or months to

accomplish a resolution versus years in the litigation process.

The parties are in charge of when their divorce is over.

The process can help parents carefully craft parenting plans to meet the unique needs of the family instead of relying on “cookie cutter” standard schedule.

• The parties are much less likely to cause irreparable damage to family and business relationships than in contested litigation.

Charla H. BradshawFamily Law Attorney

Collaborative law uses a “road map” to solve problems. When the parties work in the collaborative process, they follow a problem solving method from the business world called interest-based negotiations that provides a “road map” to resolution. The “road map” guides the parties through a logical step-by-step process that is designed

to increase the chances of settlement and decrease the chances of emotional blow-ups that often result in

families tearing each other apart at the courthouse. In a nutshell this “road map” involves fi ve basic steps:

(1.) An explanation of the ground rules for the process and the signing of a written collaborative law participation agreement;

(2.) Determining what the parties’ shared and competing goals, interests and concerns are about the divorce, the business, the children and the division of property;

(3.) Gathering, evaluating and sharing the necessary financial documentation and other information necessary to make informed choices about settlement;

(4.) Brainstorming possible options and solutions to the parties’ disputes concerning their property or children; and

(5.) Evaluating the available options and solutions, and selecting the options and solutions that meet as many of the parties’ shared and competing goals as possible under the circumstances.

negotiation in the sales contractand is typically a function of theprice being paid for the property.Other good news for theowner/buyer/borrower is thatthe issuance of a Texas mort-gagee’s policy in connection withthe issuance of a Texas owner’spolicy only costs an additional$100.

The Texas Department ofInsurance is authorized to regu-late title insurance in Texas ascodified in the Texas TitleInsurance Act (Tex. Ins. CodeSection 2501.001 et seq.). TheTexas State Board of Insuranceapproves insuring forms, premi-um rate rules, and proceduralrules for the title insuranceindustry in Texas. Texas titleinsurance is different than theoverwhelming majority of juris-dictions in the United States inthis fashion. Most other jurisdic-tions have adopted the formsand rules promulgated by theAmerican Land Title

Association (ALTA), which is anational trade association of titleinsurance underwriters andagents. The primary state tradeassociation in Texas is the TexasLand Title Association (TLTA).While the TLTA is a privateorganization and has no legisla-tive authority, the recommenda-tions and input from TLTA aregiven great weight in the regula-tion of title insurance in Texas.

So, how does title insurancediffer from an abstract of title?For one, the sole purpose of anabstract of title is to conduct adiligent and thorough search ofthe applicable public recordsand to examine the state of titleto a particular parcel of realestate based upon such inquiry.The duties and liabilities of theabstractor depend on conduct-ing such search and examinationin accordance with certainindustry standards and in a non-negligent manner. To the con-trary, a title insurance companyis not a title abstractor and owesno duty to examine title. Its sole

purpose is to provide the con-tractual indemnities and legaldefense to insure against certainpromulgated and/or express titledefects. While examination oftitle is implicit in the business ofissuing a sound title insurancepolicy, such policy does notguarantee that the state of titleas reflected in the policy is cor-rect. Rather, if the insured findsitself facing possible litigation orhas been damaged as a result ofa defect which is insured underthe policy, then the issuer ofsuch policy becomes liablethereunder to provide theinsured with a defense andeither resolve the defect, rein-sure the risk, or pay for anydamages resulting therefrom.Title insurance effectively takesthe place of the owner, buyer orlender having to prosecute alegal claim on its own and at itssole cost and expense under thecontractual warranties con-tained in the deed or securitydocuments. By acquiring a poli-cy of insurance, certain risks

associated with a property’s titlemay be shifted to the title insur-ance carrier from the owner orlender.

While title insurance is a verycost-effective manner of shiftingtitle risk, it certainly doesn’tcover all risks of ownership orlending associated with realestate. First, the amount ofinsurance is limited to the faceamount of the policy. Typically,the face amount of the policywill be limited to the purchaseprice, fair market value of theproperty — and any improve-ments — at the time the policywas issued — or if laterimproved, at such date — or fora mortgagee’s policy, the loanamount. Also, title insuranceunderwriters are in business tomake a profit. As such, theunderwriters take extreme pre-caution to ensure that the risksthey insure against are limitedto those mandated by state law,and are sometimes reluctant toinsure beyond what is minimallyrequired by law or regulation.

Similarly, all title insurance poli-cies in Texas do not insureagainst certain predeterminedrisks. These risks, which are setout in the policy, are betterknown as exclusions.Additionally, following the titleexamination of the particularparcel of real estate, the policywill include specific exceptionsto coverage, which are eitherfound of record or otherwiseallowed by the Texas title insur-ance regulations.

In order for coverage to exist,the particular type of title defectencountered must fall within thepolicy’s terms — and not beexcluded — and not have beenexpressly “excepted” to in a poli-cy schedule. In certain situa-tions, policy exception deletionsor insuring around endorse-ments — sometimes known inALTA States as “express insur-ance” — may be obtained bypaying an additional premiumto remove all or part of an

As I look back at our eco-nomic developmentactivity in 2012, it was a

slower than usual year for us. Iattribute that to two reasons:One, during a presidential elec-tion year, projects typically slowdown until after inaugurationday, coupled with worries aboutthe “fiscal cliff” and two, Dentondoesn’t have the existing buildingspace large enough to meet com-panies’ requested needs. As aresult of the economic downturna few years ago, capital for proj-ects has become more difficult toattain. Therefore, more compa-nies are eager to purchase exist-ing buildings rather than buildnew ones. According to the leadsour office received in this last fis-cal year, the average squarefootage requested is 200,430.Until developers are willing tobuild more industrial spec spacein Denton, I’m afraid we maycontinue to qualify for fewer large

projects heading into 2013.On a brighter note, we have

seen projects that we worked onin the past year or two come tofruition. Here are a few:

� Peerless manufacturingbroke ground on its new $9 mil-lion, 80,000 square-foot facilityexpandable to 487,000 squarefeet. Peerless plans to employ160.

� Labinal is in the process ofoccupying an existing 180,000-square-foot facility to move its700-employee operation fromCorinth.

� The Target Corporation isnearing completion of its400,000-square-foot state-of-the-art distribution facility forits perishable and frozen foods.Target plans to begin operationsin the new facility by the end ofthe first quarter of 2013.

� Construction on the northside of Rayzor Ranch TownCenter continues to near com-pletion. Plans are to begin con-struction in this year on thesouth side of the 412 acremixed-use development.

� The Denton AirportBranding Task Force and theDenton Economic DevelopmentPartnership Board voted to rec-ommend to the city council thatthe Denton airport be called theDenton Enterprise Airport withthe branding tagline of “DFWaccess. Extraordinary business.”An anthem was also selectedand is in the process for the citycouncil’s approval.

� Seventy-three leads werereceived and three site visitswere conducted.

As the Denton Chamber’seconomic development depart-ment is charged with marketingthe city of Denton for businessrecruitment, we participated inthe following activities to getDenton on real estate and sitelocation consultants’ radars forfuture projects:

� TexasOne exhibit at theSociety of Automotive Engineersshow in Detroit, Mich., wherePeterbilt was featured in thebooth.

� North Texas CommissionAviation Marketing Committeebooth at the National BusinessAviation Association trade showin Las Vegas.

� Denton exhibit at theNorth Texas Commercial AreaRealtors show in Dallas.

� Site Selector Guild confer-ence in Orlando.

� Met with five site locationconsultants from the followingcompanies while in Colorado:McCallum Sweeney, KPMG,Foote Consulting Group,

Silverlode Consulting Groupand Ernst & Young.

� TexasOne BusinessRecruitment Mission to NewYork and met with the followingsite location companies: Ernst &Young, ADP, Atlas Insight, RyanConstruction, Cushman &Wakefield and Grubb & Ellis.

� Met with six site locationconsultants from the followingcompanies while in Florida:Hickey & Associates, Ginovus,Newmark Knight Frank, ChabinConcepts, OCO and CH2M.

� The Chamber and city EDstaff continue to work withDME on the marking of theirproposed CHP plant.

I look forward to the newopportunities that 2013 mayhold for economic developmentin Denton. In the meantime, wewill continue to push forward byworking with existing businessesand with consultants to getDenton’s awesome story out.

Cover Story

A look at what’s to come in 2013

And while new developmentis expected to be slow, the city isworking to put the infrastruc-ture in place to attract newdevelopers in the future.

On Dec. 18, the Denton CityCouncil approved the creation ofa tax-increment reinvestmentzone (TIRZ) to pay for the infra-structure improvement of 800acres north of Airport Road.

According to the agenda item,Denton County will pay into thetax increment fund 40 percentof the property tax collected bythe county for the year.

The city will also pay 40 per-cent of the property taxes col-lected in the area to go to thezone.

“Projects have really beenkind of slow,” said KarenDickson, vice president of eco-nomic development for theDenton Chamber of Commerce.“We haven’t been able torespond to a lot. We’ve been able

to respond to some but not asmany as we’d like to.”

The proposed projects include$8 million for streets, $5 millionfor utilities and drainage, and$1.3 million to support industri-al projects.

The TIRZ will help the citybring more projects to Denton,Dickson said, adding that newdevelopers don’t want to moveinto an area that doesn’t havethis basic infrastructure in place.

Developers want propertythat is “shovel ready,” she said.

“That’s what we’re activelyworking toward,” she said.“That’s just another tool in oureconomic development toolboxto be competitive.”

Because of a lack of largebuildings, the city has had toturn down certain projects, shesaid.

“I feel like we’re going to haveto continue to turn down proj-ects, like we’ve been doing,”

Dickson said.Dickson said her job is to talk

with developers and plant seedsfor the future growth in Denton.She said it can take two or threeyears before a developer callsafter their initial discussions.

“Nothing happens fast in eco-nomic development,” she said.“But you have to be ready for it;you have to be prepared for it toremain competitive.”

While the addition of newprojects may be slow, the cityhas many projects — some thathave been dormant for years —moving forward.

MOVING FORWARDThe city is hopeful that RED

Development will be breakingground this year on the southside of the Rayzor Ranch devel-opment, which is being calledthe Town Center, Dickson said.

The Town Center, locatedacross U.S. Highway 380 from

the Marketplace, has been onhold since 2007.

At the end of 2012, theArizona-based shopping centerdeveloper announced the revivalof the Town Center with thecoming of Dillard’s. In 2013, theRayzor Ranch developmentexpects to keep up the momen-tum it gained from thatannouncement.

“The announcement ofDillard’s is the first major step inmoving Town Center forward,”Robyn Young, a spokeswomanwith RED Development, said inan e-mail, adding that it will setthe pace to attract other retail-ers.

The developer has notannounced when constructionwill begin.

There is already a Dillard’s atGolden Triangle Mall on Loop288. Officials with both entitiesare not sure whether the retailerwill open two stores in Denton.

Across U.S. Highway 380 atthe Marketplace, REDDevelopment announced thecoming of several new retailersin 2013 to join Sam’s Club andWal-Mart, including Kohl’s,Famous Footwear, Jo-AnnFabric and Craft and Petco.

The stores are expected to

open in the spring, Young said. “We will be announcing new

national, regional and localretail and dining destinationsfor Rayzor Ranch Marketplacethroughout the year as newstores are opening and weexpect to make many moreexciting retail and restaurantannouncements in the monthsahead,” she said.

While RED Developmentwon’t confirm that Ross Dressfor Less will be going into theMarketplace in the spring alongwith the other retailersannounced, there are signs upon Rayzor Ranch propertyannouncing its arrival in 2013.

“Ross is a fantastic retailerand we would welcome them atRayzor Ranch Marketplace ifthey were interested in joiningthe project,” Young said inresponse to a question about thesignage up at the Marketplace.“If you would like to learn moreabout any new stores that Rossis planning, I invite you to con-tact them directly as we areunable to speak for them.”

Ross Stores Inc. could not bereached for comment.

Several smaller retail shopsand restaurants opened in 2012at the Marketplace, including

Denton has a lot to look forward to as the new yearbegins: Rayzor Ranch, Golden Triangle Mall is get-ting a facelift, the Target Distribution Center willopen, adding new jobs, and a couple of projects maybe revived.

The new Target distribution center is located off Airport Road in Denton.

Dickson said Rayzor Ranchestimated it would bring 4,000jobs when it’s complete. Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club havealready brought many jobs andthe retail stores being built in2013 will add to that number,she said.

OPENING A DISTRIBUTIONCENTER

Another highly anticipatedaddition to Denton will be com-ing this spring.

The Target DistributionCenter, located at 3952 CorbinRoad, will be a 366,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility serv-ing the majority of Target Corp.stores in Texas and Oklahoma. Itsits on a 50-acre lot near theDenton Airport.

It will have an automated sys-tem that can pack pallets withspecific items needed for eachstore.

The distribution center isexpected to ship 577,000 casesper week.

The center is joining othercompanies like Fastenal and AldiInc. that have brought new jobopportunities to Denton in thepast couple of years.

The facility, which is doing themajority of its hiring this month,will add 170 jobs at maximumoperations, including office per-

sonnel and a technologically-skilled workforce.

Target began adding distribu-tion centers when it added morefood products to many of itsstores in 2009. Because of therapid growth of its grocery busi-ness, the corporation added morefood distribution centers.

The new center will replace theSupervalu Inc. distribution centerlocated in Fort Worth.

Target received an estimated$1.7 million tax break over fiveyears approved in 2010 by theDenton City Council.

Natalie Moffitt, workforcedevelopment manager withWorkforce Solutions of NorthCentral Texas, said the additionof facilities, like the TargetDistribution Center, is positivefor the tax base.

“It’s going to be incremental,”she said. “It will show up over alonger period of time.”

She said the job skills requiredfor a distribution center now aredifferent than those required adecade or so ago. People, in gen-eral, are upgrading their skills forthe changing job market, Moffittsaid.

GETTING A FACELIFTGolden Triangle Mall is mov-

ing forward with its renovationsthis year and plans to announcethe food court restaurants earlyin the year.

In 2012, the mall focused onrenovating its interior but thisyear will be focused on the exte-rior.

Renovations kicked off in thespring several months after themall was purchased by GTMDevelopment Ltd., a limited part-nership between Cencor RealtyServices and MGHerring Group,an Arizona-based En PertignusHolding Corp., a wholly ownedsubsidiary of JPMorgan Chase &Co.

Construction crews updatedthe lighting and flooring in the765,000-square-foot shoppingcenter in 2012. They also reno-vated the center court, purchaseda new Santa display and addednew vendor carts.

In 2013, the renovations willbecome more apparent from theoutside. At the end of December,construction crews began demo-lition work on the space that waspreviously El Chico.

The mall will be building thatarea into the parking lot with thefood court, said Matt Ludemann,mall manager. It will also berebuilding the entryway next toBarnes & Noble.

The entrance and exit into themall from Loop 288 will also getnew signage.

Mall officials are hoping thenew look will be motivation forstores to stay.

“We can’t control what an indi-vidual anchor decides to do,”Ludemann said.

REVIVING PROJECTSAnother project the city is

hoping will move forward in2013 is the proposed conventioncenter and hotel.

The proposed center at theformer site of the RadissonHotel had been dormant since2009. But in 2012, the cityreceived an unsolicited proposalfrom Missouri-based O’ReillyHospitality Management LLC.

A preliminary agreementbetween the city, O’Reilly andthe University of North Texasshows city leaders paying for the$25 million convention centerwith city tax revenue from theproject and lease payments fromO’Reilly. UNT owns the land.

No final agreement has beenreached.

“There are just still some

terms that have to be negotiatedwith the developer and the city,”Dickson said. “It’s moving along,slowly, but it’s moving.”

Denton hoteliers expressedtheir concern about anotherhotel being added to Dentonbecause of the already “fragile”market, as they call it.

About 1,000 of the 2,100hotel rooms in Denton areempty every night, driving downearnings.

The city declined the hote-liers’ request to do another studyof the hotel market before pro-ceeding with the project.

The city is also hoping anoth-er project that has been dor-mant since 2005 will be revivedthis year, Dickson said.

In 2006, the Denton CityCouncil annexed 3,406 acreswhere the Cole Ranch develop-ment is planned.

Stratford Land of Dallas co-owns the land with the Colefamily.

The company could not bereached for comment.

The mixed-use developmentwas projected to be built in fourphases between 2008 and 2025,eventually including 12,000homes, about 2,000 of whichwould be multifamily townhous-es, according to a DentonRecord-Chronicle story from2006. The residential spacewould be clustered with retailstores, medical offices and com-munity facilities.

“Those plans may havechanged,” Dickson said.

UNEMPLOYMENT TREND-ING DOWNWARD.

Moffitt said unemploymentrates are expected to continue totrend down in 2013.

Workforce Solutions has donedifferent surveys with employersthat show many will hire in2013, Moffitt said.

Employers have been holdingback because of the uncertaintywith the fiscal cliff, she said.

“Since Congress has released adeal, some of that has been alle-viated for the time being,”Moffitt said.

For Denton, healthcare con-tinues to be a strong industry,Moffitt said.

Cover StoryThere has been a decline in

public sector jobs, she said. Butjobs continue to be added to theprivate sector across the region.

“As the economy does recoverwe’re seeing a growth in thehousing market,” Moffitt said.

Staff Writer Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe contributed to the story.

sometime in this period, fol-lowed by another euphoric 80-100 percent boom with lots of 5percent, 10 percent and 20 per-cent swings along the way.

This is why value-based allo-cations still make the mostsense to us. As these swingsoccur, we must exploit opportu-nities presented when they arecheap. Inevitably though, therewill be periods of ebullience,markets will run, and valueswill dim. In these periods, largecash positions should be built.This is not a buy-and-holdstrategy.

From 1982-2007 — with themajor exception of the Internetbubble sell-off — it was a buy-and-hold era. The baby-boomers were in the peak earn-ing years and plowing moneyinto 401ks. Interest rates easedoff their late-70s highs of near20 percent and continuously fellto their lows today. Similarly,tax rates on income, dividends

and interest fell dramatically.The market had huge winds inits sails. All of those winds arereversed today.

Boomers are retiring, pullingmoney out of their accounts tolive on rather than plowingaway 10 percent of their pre-taxincome in the market. Based onNovember’s election, taxes areclearly going up. Eventually,interest rates will move up, too,and massive deficit spendingprograms will wane.

These factors support ourrange-bound thesis over thenext several years. Given thedynamism of the American cul-ture and the unstoppable rise ofa middle-class across severaldeveloping economies, theseforces are likely to subside even-tually. At some point, the meritsof a pure buy-and-hold strategymay re-emerge. But we believethat day is a long way off.

exception or to have a specificendorsement to the policy issuedregardless of the exception.Examples of some commonlyused insuring policy exceptiondeletions and insuring aroundendorsements are the surveyexception deletion (Schedule B,Item 2), rights of parties in pos-session deletion, T-23 AccessEndorsement and the series ofT-19 Restriction, encroachmentand mineral endorsements.Depending on the type of prop-erty being insured, the goals ofthe insured and the cost vs.potential benefit being affordedto the insured, an owner, poten-tial buyer or lender will haveseveral choices of particular pol-icy exception deletions andinsuring around endorsementsto consider when acquiring aTexas title insurance policy.

In short, Texas title insuranceis not a guarantee of title to theinsured. It is a contractualagreement between the insured— owner or lender — and thetitle insurance policy issuer tocover stated title risks associated

with the ownership and financ-ing of real property. In thisrespect, title insurance is morelike your automobile or home-owners’ insurance policies,rather than a guarantee of title.That’s not to say that a review ofthe precursor document to theissuance of a title insurance poli-cy shouldn’t be performed by theowner, buyer or lender prior topaying the applicable premium.To the contrary, it is extremelyimportant that the “commit-ment” for issuance of a titleinsurance policy be reviewed inaddition to any documents,which will constitute exceptionsfrom coverage once the policy isissued. If possible, both the titleinsurance commitment andexception documents should beexamined along with a currentsurvey. The commitment shouldprovide a good snapshot of theexceptions contained in the pub-lic records, while the survey willshow the location of such excep-tions on the ground and anyother exceptions which are notfound in the public records, butwhich are visibly apparent froman inspection of the property.

In conclusion, title insuranceplays a very important role inTexas real estate transactions.However, if you do not workwith title insurance on a regularbasis it can be somewhat confus-ing to know exactly what you arepurchasing and what optionsmay be available. So, if you everfind yourself in a situationwhere you want to know yourtitle insurance options, youshould feel free to consult withand ask questions of your titleinsurance agent. Most areextremely helpful and knowl-edgeable about their products. Ifyou still find yourself uncertainabout title insurance or the asso-ciated transaction, it is usuallywell worth the time and expenseto consult with a qualified legalprofessional.
