Backed by Stewart Title Guaranty Company's more than 100 years of service in the abstract/title business, and a local history dating back to 1922, Stewart Title of Wichita Falls (formerly U.S. Title) provides closing services, maintains escrow accounts, and issues title insurance. Stewart Title of Wichita Falls is committed to professional and consistent outstanding service to give each customer the utmost satisfaction while maintaining a team effort among company employees.

Founded by Randy Schaffner as U.S. Title in 1988, a majority interest was sold to Stewart Title Company in November 2000.

Stewart Title of Wichita Falls, with Randy Schaffner as president has written millions of dollars in title insurance since 1988. Our customer base includes realtors, lenders, mortgage bankers, credit unions, builders, developers, and attorneys.

Stewart Title of Wichita Falls is active in community affairs, including membership in the Wichita Falls Board of Commerce & Industry, Better Business Bureau, Wichita Falls Association of Realtors, and North Texas Home Builders Association.

In 1893, Maco Stewart purchased a Galveston Abstract company, marking the beginning of the Stewart companies. In 1905, Maco and Minor Stewart opened Stewart Title Guaranty Company in Galveston. Their brother-in-law, W.C. Morris, and later his sons, Carloss and Stewart Morris, Sr. operated the company. Today, Malcom and Stewart Morris, Jr., sons of Carloss and Stewart Morris, Sr., manage Stewart Title Guaranty Company, with headquarters in Houston and over 5000 issuing offices in all fifty states, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Growth has been steady, and in 1972, Stewart Information Services Corporation became a publicly traded stock. The company carries "A Double Prime" rating from Demotech, the highest available for the field of 100 title insurance companies.

Future plans call for leadership in technology for the real estate closing process.
