Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien lifted from the property.
Hill County has 24,664 assignment and release records, including 4,605 assignment documents, 20,024 release documents, and 35 other documents. Assignments were recorded from June 7, 1994, through August 29, 2025, and releases from August 6, 2001, through August 29, 2025.
These records help show who holds a mortgage on a property, confirm that earlier loans were released, and spot liens that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The long assignment history also gives researchers a view of how loans moved between lenders over time.
