FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY
TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION
Title Insurance insures you against loss resulting from
certain risks to your title.
The Commitment for Title Insurance is the Title
Insurance Company's promise to issue the Title
Insurance Policy. The Commitment is a legal document.
You should review it carefully to completely
understand it before your closing date.
El seguro de titulo le asegura en relacion a
perdidas resultantes de ciertos riesgos que pueden
afectar el titulo de su propiedad.
El Compromiso para Seguro de Titulo es la promesa
de la compania aseguradora de titulos de emitir la
poliza de seguro de titulo. El Compromiso es un
documento legal. Usted debe leerlo cuidadosamente y
entenderlo complemente antes de la fecha para
finalizar su transaccion.
Your Commitment for Title Insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The Commitment is not an opinion or
report of your title. It is a contract to issue you a Policy subject to the Commitment's terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title Insurance Policy (the Policy), the
Title Insurance Company (the Company) determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already
been made. Part of that determination involves the Company's decision to insure the title except for certain risks
that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as
Exceptions. Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be covered by the Policy. The
Policy is not an abstract of title nor does a Company have an obligation to determine the ownership of any mineral
interest.
- -- MINERALS AND MINERAL RIGHTS may not be covered by the Policy. The Company may be
unwilling to insure title unless there is an exclusion or an exception as to Minerals and Mineral Rights in the
Policy. Optional endorsements insuring certain risks involving minerals, and the use of improvements (excluding
lawns, shrubbery and trees) and permanent buildings may be available for purchase. Neither this Policy, nor the
optional endorsements, insure that the purchaser has title to the mineral rights related to the surface estate.
Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is conditioned upon certain requirements
being met. Schedule C of the Commitment lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will
refuse to cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown in Schedules B and C of the Commitment with
an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy's Exception, Exclusions and Conditions,
defined below.
- -- EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not cover in a particular instance.
Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or discussed in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be added if you
do not comply with the Conditions section of the Commitment. When the Policy is issued, all Exceptions will
be on Schedule B of the Policy.
- -- EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover. Exclusions are contained in the
Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment.
- -- CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your coverage. Conditions include your
responsibilities and those of the Company. They are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the
Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment Conditions.
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the Texas Department of Insurance by calling Fidelity National
Title Insurance Company at 1 -800- 654 -7041 or by calling the title insurance agent that issued the Commitment.
The Texas Department of Insurance may revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the Policy from the Texas Department of Insurance by calling 1- 800 -252-
3439.
Form No. 27C 13443 (11/2009) Commitment For Title Insurance (T -7)
• o
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the Policy. Some of the changes to consider are:
- -- Request amendment of the area and boundary" exception (Schedule B, paragraph 2). To get this
amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner's
Policy, you must pay an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to the Company and
if the Company's other requirements are met, your Policy will insure you against loss because of discrepancies or
conflicts in boundary lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of improvements. The Company may
then decide not to insure against specific boundary or survey problems by making special exceptions in the
Policy.
Whether or not you request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception, you should determine whether you
want to purchase and review a survey if a survey is not being provided to you.
-- -Allow the Company to add an exception to "rights of parties in possession." If you refuse this exception,
the Company or the title insurance agent may inspect the property. The Company may except to and not insure you
against the rights of specific persons, such as renters, adverse owners or easement holders who occupy the land.
The Company may charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection, you must sign a
Waiver of Inspection form and allow the Company to add this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will not owe any additional
premiums unless you want to increase your coverage at a later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased
Value Endorsement.

DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner's Policy)
Arbitration is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to settle a
dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to take the
Title Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration process. In
addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to require arbitration if
the amount of insurance is $2,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right to sue the Company in case of a
dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration provision before the policy is issued. You can do
this by signing this form and returning it to the Company at or before the closing of your real estate transaction or
by writing to the Company.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration
pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Land Title Association ( "Rules "). Except as
provided in the Rules, there shall be no joinder or consolidation with claims or controversies of other persons.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the
Insured arising out of or relating to this policy, any service in connection with its issuance or the breach of a policy
provision, or to any other controversy or claim arising out of the transaction giving rise to this policy. All arbitrable
matters when the Amount of Insurance is $2,000,000 or less shall be arbitrated at the option of either the Company
or the Insured, unless the Insured is an individual person (as distinguished from an Entity). All arbitrable matters
when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $2,000,000 shall be arbitrated only when agreed to by both the
Company and the Insured. Arbitration pursuant to this policy and under the Rules shall be binding upon the parties.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction."
