FM 545 is a current public-source corridor clue.
TxDOT says it is proposing to reconstruct and widen FM 545, also called East Melissa Road, from SH 121 to CR 416 in Collin County.
Read the source ->Jamie Ellis' FM 545 East Melissa handoff
Send the FM 545 source trail before it becomes a file delay.
For builders, developers, agents, lenders and investors: collect the public source, property clue, timing pressure and one title or escrow process question when FM 545 or East Melissa Road context touches a transaction.
Audience and job
Built for Melissa-area files that need a cleaner first note.
FM 545 and East Melissa Road context can show up in land listings, development files, lender calls, survey follow-up, platting questions, title commitment review or investor memos. The useful move is to send the exact public source and ask one narrow title or escrow process question early.
The useful handoff
Send the property, public source, date checked, transaction lane and first question. A public roadway source can orient a file, but it does not replace title review, survey review, lender review, underwriting, public records or legal review for a specific transaction.
Current source check
FM 545 source material is useful when the sender avoids conclusions.
These public sources were checked on August 13, 2026. They can help a sender explain why a Melissa-area roadway question is coming up now, but they do not decide access, right-of-way, survey, platting, title requirements, underwriting, market value or closing timing.
The comment window is still a date to name precisely.
TxDOT says all comments on the proposed FM 545 project must be received on or before Friday, August 14, 2026.
Read the source ->The project portal gathers the sender's exhibit trail.
The Dallas District portal says the virtual meeting began July 30, 2026 and remains available online through the August 14, 2026 comment deadline.
Read the source ->ROW and path details belong in the first note, not as conclusions.
Project materials describe staged widening, a 10-foot shared-use path along both sides with exceptions, and proposed right-of-way width varying from about 130 to 211 feet.
Read the source ->County plat and driveway facts can travel with the same handoff.
Collin County says plat packages may require deed context and TxDOT driveway permit approvals when proposed or modified driveways connect to a TxDOT-maintained roadway.
Read the source ->Educational material must stay open and unconditioned.
TDI's P-53 framework allows legal promotional and educational activity when it is not conditioned on referral of title-insurance business and does not provide a prohibited thing of value.
Read the source ->What to send
Make the roadway clue easy to route.
A strong source note is short, public and tied to a property. It does not need to solve the access, right-of-way, survey, driveway, platting, lender, title, escrow or legal issue before the title team sees it.
- Property address, FM 545 or East Melissa Road clue, nearest cross street, parcel ID, survey reference, title-commitment item, driveway clue, plat item or right-of-way reference
- Public source link, posted date, meeting or comment date, date checked and the exact corridor or development fact the sender is relying on
- Transaction lane: purchase, refinance, listing, development site, lender request, investor file, land file, commercial file or residential project-adjacent question
- Known timing pressure: contract date, lender deadline, survey status, plat status, title commitment status, driveway-permit clue, inspection period or public-record follow-up
- One process question: what should the title team, escrow team, lender, surveyor, public office, underwriter or attorney help verify next?
What to avoid
Keep project conclusions out of the first note.
- Do not treat a TxDOT project page, exhibit, virtual meeting, public-comment window, ROW note or plat-process source as a title opinion, survey review, access opinion, right-of-way conclusion, legal conclusion or underwriting decision.
- Do not forecast property value, rent, absorption, traffic benefit, project success, development feasibility, tax-base effect, construction timing, resale demand or marketability from public roadway material.
- Do not promise that design, right-of-way acquisition, relocation, driveway permits, title requirements, lender review, survey review, public comments or a closing date will resolve on a specific schedule.
- Do not offer a rebate, discount, gift, commission or other benefit for sending a file.

Send the property and the first FM 545 question.
This uses the existing closing-readiness form. The page URL, referrer, UTM fields and click IDs stay with the lead record, so the title team can see that the question came from this FM 545 East Melissa handoff.
