If the territory is acquired from more than one county, the clerk shall maintain separate sets of records for the records obtained from each county. The records shall be indexed and arranged as provided by law.
(b) After the records are legibly rerecorded, the county clerk or the clerk's deputies who rerecorded them shall compare them with the original record.
