Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(2) It owns or leases and maintains a complete set of tract indexes of the county in this state in which its principal office is located; and
