LIT COMMENTARY
Chane Investment Holdings, LP and Chane Investment Management, LLC were formed in August 2006 by Judge Alfred H Bennett and his lawyer spouse, O Tanyel Harrison-Bennett.
The registered address of 1801 Southmore Blvd in Houston was the former Law Offices of Alfred H. Bennett. The Bennetts’ would sell that to fellow judges and lawyers, the Carters’ via Carter Partners, LP.
On September 18, 2014, President Barack Obama nominated Bennett to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, to the seat vacated by Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt, who assumed senior status on March 2, 2013. Here’s the relevant part of his online bio per the federal court website at Rusk St., Houston;

Senate Questionnaire Disclosure (2014)
2006
It would appear from LIT’s research that Chane was specifically organized in 2006 to become a broker buyer/seller of 1309 Blair St., a multi-tenant apartment building for the sum of $630,000 to Love Flats, LLC.
This would be financed and subsequently sold around 11 years after acquiring it from the Dick’s (we assume).
2017
First, from Chane and the Bennett’s to Love Park Flats, LLC on May 19, 2017, the recorded General Warranty Deed with Vendor’s Lien.
On Oct. 17, 2017 there’s confirmation via the UCC Financing Statement between Love Park Flats, LLC and Texan Bank for the sum of $630,000.
2018
Chane Investment Holdings, LP and Chane Investment Management, LLC voluntarily dissolved, Aug. 3, 2018.
2021
The last transaction would be a recorded Warranty Deed with Vendors Lien from Blair Street Apartments, LLC to Blair Street OPCO, LLC signed on Nov. 15 and recorded on Nov. 17, 2021 for the sum of $1.45 million dollars.

But Where’s the Sales Transaction between The Dicks and The Bennetts, DBA Chane as shown on HCAD on Aug. 30, 2006, nine days after the formation of Chane Investment Holdings, LP and Chane Management Holdings, LLC on Aug. 21, 2006?
There’s notably one missing transaction LIT cannot locate on the real property records at HCDC.
That’d be the all important sale of Blair Apartments to Chane by the Dicks, the last recorded entry was DICK ELLSWORTH B & GENE E on Dec. 23, 2005.
E. B. Dick died on Jan. 9, 2006.
Chane became owner on Aug. 30, 2006.
The next transaction we see is the assignment of the rent income by Chane to the Bank as security for the $399k note (Aug. 30, 2006).
The Dicks’
We’ll be writin’ more on the Dicks, there’s plenty to write about…
