How we research, and what we will not publish
We publish property research on buildings we do not list. That is only legitimate if the research stays research. This page is the standard we hold it to, and it is enforced by the software that builds the site rather than by anyone's memory.
- We publish what a building is: where it is, who owns it, how it is built, how tall, how it loads, what power it has, what yard it has.
- We do not publish what a building costs or whether any of it is open. Those belong to the people who hold the listing.
- We name and link the developer, owner or leasing team on every park where we can identify one, and we point you at them.
- If you hold a listing in one of these parks and want the record corrected, expanded or taken down, email jacob@dowreg.com and we will act on it.
The rules, and how each one is enforced
| Rule | What it requires | Basis | How it is enforced |
|---|---|---|---|
R1 | Broker's name on every page | 22 TAC 535.155(a) | CB&A Commercial appears in the header and footer of every page, at no less than half the size of our largest contact detail. |
R2 | License holder named | 535.155(a) | Jacob Dow is named on every page. |
R3 | No lease economics, anywhere | 535.155(d)(13) | No rate, lease type, term, improvement allowance, free rent or escalation appears on any property page. The build fails if one does. |
R4 | No availability or offer language | 535.155(d)(13) | No property page says space is open, vacant, offered or tourable. Those words are permitted only inside a block whose job is to say we do not publish them. |
R5 | Every fact dated and sourced | 535.155(d)(1) | Each park page carries an "Information collected" line naming every source and the date. Unresearched fields are shown as open, never estimated. |
R6 | Non-representation stated | 535.155(d)(12) | Each survey page states plainly that we do not represent the property and were not involved in any transaction at it. |
R7 | No offer markup for machines either | 535.155(d)(13) | Structured data uses schema.org Place. Offer and RealEstateListing types are banned, because marking a page up as an offer is advertising it whether a human reads it or not. |
R8 | Permitted use never asserted | 535.155(d)(10) | Zoning and use are reported as what a source said, always paired with an instruction to verify with the jurisdiction. |
R9 | Nothing internal reachable | origin hygiene | Rates and availability we have gathered for our own market knowledge live in a file that never reaches the web server. The build fails if it does. |
R10 | No value opinions | 535.155(d)(11) | No page characterises a property as cheap, below market or a good deal. |
Why availability is a conversation and not a page
Texas rules treat an advertisement differently from a communication to your own client. A page on the open web that offers someone else's listed space is advertising it. A written survey prepared for a client who has engaged us is not. So the standing survey carries the buildings, and the current picture of what is open goes to the people we are working for. That is also simply better work: by the time a portal shows you four options we can show you the whole corridor, including the owners who never advertise.
Where the facts come from
In order of preference: the developer's or owner's own published material; county appraisal and clerk records; state construction registrations; and our own observation on site. Third-party aggregators are used only to find candidates, never as the final word on an address, because they are frequently wrong. When two sources disagree we publish both and say so rather than choosing the one we prefer.
Corrections
Every page is dated. If a fact is wrong, or a park changed hands, or a building delivered, send it to jacob@dowreg.com. We will update the page and change the collection date so you can see it moved.
