Find the property's county.
Search the county's property appraiser's website and note the current property owner name(s), parcel number, and legal description.
Check the county recorder's public record for any liens, judgements, or lis pendens attached to the property under the owner's name.
Check for any other liens filed against the current owner which may affect all property held by that individual. In some states, a lien for code violations, unpaid taxes, or other issues on a single property may be applied to all property held by the violator.
In order to establish chain of title, note the specific transfers of title from the current to all previous owners. Be sure that the legal description and parcel number match the one you found in the property appraiser's website. Confirm that all liens, mortgages, judgements, etc in the names of previous owners have a subsequent release or satisfaction recorded.
