Determine how a document submitter gets approved to eRecord real property documents with the Harris County, Texas, County Clerk, which requires going through an approved third-party eRecord provider rather than a direct county API.

Steps

1. Fetch cclerk.hctx.net/RealProperty.aspx and confirm Harris County Real Property does not accept electronically submitted documents except through its eRecording system.
2. Note the county requires choosing a vendor from its partial list of known eRecord providers (e.g., CSC/erecording.com, Simplifile) and confirming that vendor currently submits to Harris County before setup.
3. Contact the Harris County Clerk's Real Property division directly for the complete/current approved-vendor list, since the public page only lists a partial set.
4. Recognize this vendor-gateway pattern (submitter → approved eRecording vendor → county) as representative of how most U.S. county recorders accept electronic documents — there is essentially never a direct public county recording API.
5. Plan integration work around one of the approved vendors' onboarding process (see Simplifile/CSC/ePN routes) rather than attempting to integrate with Harris County directly.
