Good grief David, why would anyone follow the precise rules of evidence, when the courts/judges/attorneys accept copies?
Don't you know how much the banks are suffering from all these technicalities that would cost a whole bunch of money to the banks if they were to be required to follow the rules set out to protect consumers/investors?
Here is the statute in my local:
From the Texas Property Code:
§ 12.0011. INSTRUMENTS CONCERNING PROPERTY: ORIGINAL
SIGNATURE REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS. (a) For the purposes
of this section, "paper document" means a document received by a
county clerk in a form that is not electronic.
(b) A paper document concerning real or personal property
may not be recorded or serve as notice of the paper document unless:
(1) the paper document contains an original signature
or signatures that are acknowledged, sworn to with a proper jurat,
or proved according to law; or
(2) the paper document is attached as an exhibit to a
paper affidavit or other document that has an original signature or
signatures that are acknowledged, sworn to with a proper jurat, or
proved according to law.
(c) An original signature may not be required for an
electronic instrument or other document that complies with the
requirements of Chapter 15 of this code, Chapter 195, Local
Government Code, Chapter 43, Business & Commerce Code, or other
applicable law.
Added by Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 213, § 1, eff. September
1, 2007.
Let me add the following:
COURTS ACCEPT COPIES, JUDGES/MAGISTRATES ACCEPT COPIES, COUNTY RECORDERS ACCEPT COPIES. WILL YOU ACCEPT COPIES?
