Plains State Bank buyer-window signal capture

Evidence

• TDLR registration TABS2026027377, filed 8/10/2026, names Aarshin Investment LLC (contact Reshma Ali) as owner of a Better Buddy C-Store at 16814 FM 442 Road, Needville: a single-story gas canopy and c-store building, 12,500 sq ft.
• The same filing gives an estimated cost of $3,800,000, private funds on private land, answers No to tenant-provided funds, and lists start 11/1/2026 and completion 5/31/2027 with status Project Registered.

Practical opening

“Aarshin Investment registered a new Better Buddy store and fuel canopy at 16814 FM 442 Road in Needville. The public record puts construction at $3,800,000, filed as a private project with no tenant named, starting 11/1/2026. That suggests the owners are lining up construction money before November. We could ask how the group financed its earlier stores and offer an SBA loan here.”

Claim boundaryDo not call it an added unit or say the group needs a lender; it may replace #15, and its earlier lenders were not searched.

The new store may replace Better Buddy #15 next door rather than add one, and with land and fuel equipment the total may pass the $5M SBA 7(a) cap.

Evidence

• Instrument RP-2026-266823, recorded 2026-07-02, is typed CONT in the Harris County Clerk code table, defined as Contract, Contract of Sale or Earnest Money Contract, over Reserve A of the Aldine Bender Hospitality Subdivision.
• Texas Comptroller hotel-occupancy-tax dataset hdzd-884n carries taxpayer 32106368098, REGENCY INN AND SUITES, at address_number 14621, address_text HIGHWAY 59 N, with resp_begin_date 2026-07-01.

Practical opening

“A contract of sale over the hotel's commercial reserve was recorded in July 2026. State hotel-tax records show a new operator took the property in July 2026 at this address. That suggests the purchase money has not yet been placed. We could ask whether the buyer has placed the purchase money yet.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the buyer needs a loan or that the contract is about to close. Neither is in any record.

The only human on the state record is a registered agent, not a stated officer.

Evidence

• TDLR registration TABS2026026869, filed 8/4/2026, is new construction of two buildings at 19340 Kuykendahl Road, Spring, for Precise Technical Services: a two-story office with attached warehouse and a second warehouse, 34,480 sq ft in total.
• The same filing gives an estimated cost of $2,900,000, private funds on private land, answers No to tenant-provided funds, lists start 10/1/2026 and completion 10/1/2027 with status Project Registered, and names AA Kuykendahl LLC as building owner.

Practical opening

“Precise Technical Services registered a two-story office with warehouse and a second warehouse at 19340 Kuykendahl Road in Spring. The public record puts construction at $2,900,000, filed as a private project with no tenant named, starting 10/1/2026. That suggests the owners are choosing construction money now. We could ask whether the build loan is placed and, if not, offer an SBA owner-occupied loan.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the Hemmats need or want a loan, or that construction money is not yet arranged; the record shows cost and dates, not financing.

The start date, 10/1/2026, is weeks away; a construction loan may already be committed even though none is recorded.

Evidence

• Warranty deed RP-2026-342499, filed 2026-08-24, conveys a commercial reserve from Kosmos Investments LLC to Alanis Food LLC, with deed of trust RP-2026-342500 to Dyamond Capital Inc recorded the same day.
• An exact-name and a wildcard search of the FDIC institution directory both return no insured institution whose name contains Dyamond; a fuzzy search returns only Diamond-spelled banks, none of them this lender.

Practical opening

“Alanis Food bought a commercial reserve on 24 August 2026 and gave the note to Dyamond Capital. The lender on this purchase matches no FDIC-insured institution in the United States. That suggests bank paper has not been placed on this building. We could ask what the Dyamond note costs against a bank rate.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the note is expensive or that the owner wants to refinance. Neither is in any record.

Food manufacturing is not one of the six categories this bank demonstrably funds, so the fit rests on the collateral rather than precedent.

Evidence

• Warranty deed RP-2026-286220, filed 2026-07-16, conveys the 31207 Washington St self-storage facility from OLD WASHINGTON STORAGE LLC to CLOSE ENOUGH STORAGE LLC, legal LYNN LANE PARTIAL REPLAT NO 1, Lot 2, Block 1.
• The Texas Comptroller issued Close Enough Storage LLC a sales-tax permit at 31207 Washington St effective 2026-07-28 under NAICS 531130, lessors of mini-warehouses and self-storage units, the same code the prior owner held at that address from 2017.

Practical opening

“A warranty deed filed 16 July 2026 moved the Waller self-storage facility to Close Enough Storage LLC. A state sales-tax permit at the same address twelve days later shows the buyer is now operating the storage facility. That suggests the acquisition note is the first thing a bank would replace. We could ask whether the seller note has a maturity worth refinancing.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the owner is seeking finance or that the seller note is maturing. Neither is in any record.

The only human on the state record is a registered agent, because the entity is too new to have filed officers, so the first call needs a name the registry cannot yet give.

Evidence

• Warranty deed RP-2026-246419, filed 2026-06-22, conveys a unit in FOUR SEASONS BUSINESS PARK TOMBALL, Reserve A, from FOUR SEASONS BUSINESS PARK I LLC to RDI MECHANICAL INC, followed the same day by deed of trust RP-2026-246420 back to that same seller.
• RDI Mechanical, Inc. carries a Texas Comptroller mailing address of 23106 Tomball Pkwy, Tomball, and its officers are filed for report year 2024 with stated titles.

Practical opening

“RDI Mechanical bought a Tomball business-park unit on 22 June 2026 and gave the note back to the developer. The company is a Tomball operator with officers filed under stated titles. That suggests a developer note sitting where a bank note usually goes. We could ask whether the developer note has a maturity date.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the note is short, dear or maturing, and do not say the company wants to refinance. None of that is recorded.

Specialty trades are thin in this bank's book at three of 321 loans, so the fit rests on the collateral and the takeout rather than on precedent.

Evidence

• TDLR registration TABS2026024244 (Gagemaker Warehouse), filed 7/1/2026, is a new 20,256 sq ft pre-engineered metal building for office and warehouse for fabrication at 712 Southmore, Pasadena.
• The same filing gives an estimated cost of $4,000,000, private funds on private land, answers No to tenant-provided funds, and lists start 11/2/2026 and completion 12/22/2027 with status Review Complete.

Practical opening

“A new 20,256 sq ft Gagemaker office and fabrication building is registered at the company's Pasadena address. The public record puts construction at $4,000,000, filed as a private project with no tenant named, starting 11/2/2026. That suggests the family is deciding how to pay for the plant before November. We could offer an SBA owner-occupied construction loan and ask how the land is held.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the land is owned outright or that the Franks need a loan; neither is on record.

The owner of the 712 E Southmore parcel is not yet identified, so a lien under another name would not show; confirm with the appraisal district.

Evidence

• TDLR registration TABS2027000831 (IMMI Turbines), filed 9/11/2026, is a new metal warehouse of 15,069 sq ft at 19902 Keenan Cutoff Road, Montgomery, owned by IMMI Turbines Inc.
• The same filing gives an estimated cost of $2,000,000, private funds on private land, answers No to tenant-provided funds, and lists start 9/8/2027 and completion 12/15/2027 with status Project Registered.

Practical opening

“IMMI Turbines registered a new 15,069 sq ft metal warehouse at 19902 Keenan Cutoff Road in Montgomery. The public record puts construction at $2,000,000, filed as a private project with no tenant named, starting 9/8/2027. That suggests the company has time to pick a lender before it builds. We could open an SBA owner-occupied loan conversation early, before a construction lender is chosen.”

Claim boundaryDo not present this as urgent or say the company needs a loan; it is the early end of the set.

The start date, 9/8/2027, is the early end of this set; the lender choice may be months away.

Evidence

• TDLR registration TABS2026025632, filed 7/20/2026, lists Aramu Management LLC (contact Aamir Chuttani, 12337 Jones Rd Suite 217) as owner of a new Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen at 15705 Woodland Hills, Humble, 2,540 sq ft.
• The same filing gives an estimated cost of $1,200,000, private funds on private land, answers No to tenant-provided funds, and lists start 10/1/2026 and completion 4/1/2027 with status Review Complete.

Practical opening

“Aramu Management registered a new Popeyes restaurant building at 15705 Woodland Hills in Humble. The public record puts construction at $1,200,000, filed as a private project with no tenant named, starting 10/1/2026. That suggests the franchisee is placing construction money before the October start. We could ask who financed the recent units and offer an SBA option for this Humble site.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the franchisee lacks a lender or is under the SBA size standard; both need checking.

Units opened in 2024 and 2025 mean the franchisee likely already has a lender, and the SBA size test with affiliates still has to be run.
