   Lockhart’s historic downtown Square welcomed a significant new addition this week as Corridor Title officially opened its Lockhart office with a celebratory ribbon cutting. The event drew an impressive turnout, reflecting the strong regional partnerships that continue to drive economic momentum across Caldwell County.

   Approximately 100 attendees joined the celebration, including representatives from the Luling, Lockhart, Greater Caldwell Hispanic, and San Marcos Chambers of Commerce. Mayor Lew White, Judge Hoppy Haden, Luling Mayor CJ Watts, and several other city officials were also present, underscoring the widespread support for the firm’s expansion.

   Corridor Title, which has served Central Texas communities since 2010, marked the opening as a meaningful milestone in its continued growth and investment in Lockhart and the surrounding region. Community leaders, business owners, and residents gathered to recognize the firm’s commitment to the area and to celebrate the leadership of Whitney Abel and Lauren West, who will oversee the new office.

   The office is in a newly constructed building owned by Amelia, Jim, and Winn Smith. Designed to meet modern business needs while honoring the character of the Square, the building provides a fitting home for a company rooted in both tradition and forward-thinking service.

   Patrick Rose, President of Corridor Title, reflected on the firm’s long-standing ties to Caldwell County and the significance of the occasion.

      “I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with the Lockhart community, and Caldwell County, since 2002. And when we founded Corridor Title in 2010, Lockhart was always a community we knew we would serve as our firm grew,” Rose said. “This week’s ribbon cutting marks a milestone for Corridor Title, and for our local leaders, Whitney Abel and Lauren West. We are honored to be in Amelia, Jim and Winn Smith’s beautiful new building on the Square. And we view our capital investment as a statement of our long-term commitment to this community we love. We look forward to actively serving Lockhart and Caldwell County, and to the road ahead.”

   With the launch of its Lockhart location, Corridor Title strengthens its presence as a trusted partner for real estate professionals, lenders, and families navigating property transactions. The expansion also signals the firm’s confidence in the region’s continued economic growth and Lockhart’s emergence as an attractive destination for both businesses and residents.

   As Corridor Title begins this new chapter, community members say they are eager to see the positive impact of a company that has already demonstrated deep respect for Lockhart’s heritage, along with a clear and enduring belief in its future.
