Texas Scraper Kit: 10 Verified Scrapers, 261 Beta Modules, $13.37.

Coverage correction — September 4, 2026: The 764+ figure counts inventoried catalog sources, not working scrapers. The current kit includes 10 verified Python scrapers and 261 beta TypeScript modules. The original audio predates this correction; use the updated text and product page for current coverage.

The Problem

Texas has some of the richest public data in the country. Business filings, property records, oil well permits, campaign finance disclosures, professional licenses, environmental violations, unclaimed property — hundreds of government agencies publishing data the public has a legal right to access.

But "public" doesn't mean "accessible."

Each agency has its own website, its own search interface, its own quirks. Some use ColdFusion apps from 2004. Some require custom SSL cipher suites. Some run on Blazor and SignalR. Some return Jasper Reports that take 25 seconds to generate.

If you're a journalist, researcher, real estate investor, or data analyst who needs this data at scale, your options are:

1. Click through government websites manually. Death by a thousand tabs.
2. Pay a data vendor $200–$500/month. They scraped the same public data and marked it up 100x.
3. Build your own scrapers. Weeks of reverse-engineering per agency, plus ongoing maintenance when they change their HTML.

We chose option 4: build it once, sell it cheap, and let everyone run it themselves.

What You Get

The Texas Scraper Kit includes a Python toolkit with a REST API and CLI, plus an optional Docker Compose runtime for its beta TypeScript modules. You run it on your own machine and query supported sources.

• 10 verified Python scrapers with recorded live-validation evidence
• 261 beta TypeScript modules with rolling validation and source-specific requirements
• 764+ cataloged sources documenting the wider Texas public-data landscape; not 764 working integrations
• REST API — POST /run with source codes, poll for results
• CLI — run individual scrapers from the command line
• Multiple output formats — CSV, JSON, or PostgreSQL
• Docker Compose — one command to deploy the full stack
• 12 months of updates — when agencies change their sites, we update the scrapers

Verified Working Sources (v1.0)

The release trust manifest records live-validation dates, queries, and results for these 10 Python scrapers. That verification does not extend to every beta module or catalog entry, and government sites can change after validation:

Source	Agency	Data
sos_business	Secretary of State	Business filings, entity search
tcad_property	Travis County Appraisal	Property records, valuations
tdlr_license	TDLR	Professional license verification
rrc_wells	Railroad Commission	Oil/gas well data
ethics_campaign	Ethics Commission	Campaign finance disclosures
tceq_violations	TCEQ	Environmental violations
rrc_gis	Railroad Commission	GIS pipeline/well mapping
rrc_bulk	Railroad Commission	Bulk production data
comptroller_franchise	Comptroller	Franchise tax filings
tec_campaign_finance	Ethics Commission	Filer registry (candidates and committees)

Module validation and fixes are released through updates. Check the included trust manifest and per-module documentation for current status.

Who This Is For

• Real estate investors — property records, tax data, business entity lookups at scale
• Journalists — campaign finance, environmental violations, license verifications
• Data analysts — structured, queryable data from sources that only offer clunky search forms
• Researchers — bulk access to public records without manual clicking
• Developers — a REST API you can integrate into your own pipelines

Why $13.37

Because data vendors charging $200/month for public records is rent-seeking. The data is public. The scraping is the hard part. We did the hard part and we're charging what a good lunch costs.

No subscriptions. No API keys to manage. No usage limits. It runs on your hardware, scrapes at your pace, stores data where you want it.

Twelve months of updates included. After that, your copy still works — you just stop getting new modules and site-change fixes.
