Williston Financial Group (“WFG”) has acquired Universal Land Title of Texas, a Texas-based title insurance agency with offices in Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston. Williston Financial Group is the parent company of a family of title insurers which deliver title insurance and real estate settlement services for lender, commercial and residential transactions, nationwide.

Universal Land Title of Texas will now operate as WFG National Title Company of Texas.  The division has offices in Bedford, Fort Worth, Southlake, Grand Prairie, Houston, Katy and Sugar Land. As the Division President for the new entity, Patrick Dougher will oversee the growth and operations of the business.

“With its vibrant economy and strong population growth, Texas is an attractive and important market for WFG or any real estate-focused company extending its national presence,” said WFG President and CEO, Patrick Stone.  “We know that Patrick’s customer-first approach and flexibility will make WFG a resource for his clients in Texas.”

“WFG’s total emphasis on the customer will be well received by our clients in Texas,” said Dougher.  “Mortgage lenders and real estate brokerages demand that their service providers see each mortgage transaction through to the settlement or closing with speed, accuracy and regulatory compliance—all with no disruption to that service provider or the home buyer.  This approach is at the core of what WFG does.”
