Part of a 41-acre Travis County tract pledged to PlainsCapital
A Nov. 9 Travis County deed of trust pledges part of a 41.29-acre tract to PlainsCapital Bank. The clerk index lists no loan amount.
- Source Briefing
- Public record
Part of a 41.29-acre tract in Travis County was pledged as collateral to PlainsCapital Bank in a deed of trust filed with the Travis County Clerk on Nov. 9, 2026. The borrower of record is an entity indexed as SCP McKinney Falls Land. This article rests on the clerk index entry alone; we have not read the recorded document.
Why it matters
Acreage-scale deeds of trust are an early read on where lenders are willing to finance land before vertical construction begins. A bank taking a lien on a 41-acre parcel is a financing event, not a development announcement, and the filing does not say what, if anything, will be built.

The clerk index names no operating company behind the borrower. We therefore do not attribute the tract to a developer, and no project is announced in the record.
The numbers
The recorded instrument is number 2026132204. The index describes the collateral as part of 41.29 acres in the Santiago Del Valle survey, Abstract No. 24. The grantor is SCP McKinney Falls Land and the grantee is PlainsCapital Bank.
Texas deeds and deeds of trust do not state a price, and the Travis County index carries no loan amount for this filing. We are not estimating one. The clerk index entry, which is marked as a temporary index, is the only source for every figure in this article. The Travis County Clerk site asks visitors to accept a disclaimer before showing results, and the document image itself may require an account.

What’s next
The loan amount, maturity and any release terms sit in the recorded document itself, which a reader can request from the Travis County Clerk with the instrument number (tccsearch.org, Real Estate index). A matching deed, plat or site plan filing for the same acreage would show whether the borrower plans to hold, subdivide or build.
We will follow up if a related plat, zoning case or permit appears for the tract. Other Travis County lending and land filings are tracked on the Austin market page.
