Thanks Guys!!

I will double check when I get back home tonight. Did not check the door to ensure it was not warped.

Dad, I have several long screws in the hinges and at the open side through shims and into the studs to keep the door in place.

This location was poorly framed. The hinge side was way out of whack comparatively. I had to do the bad thing of putting it in the opposite side first. Supported, checked and got very square. It all seemed to be working together very well once I had the lock side jamb squared.

LJ, I checked top and bottom, not middle. I have a bullet level I can run up and down the jambs. I can also use a 2'. I do not believe I checked the interior (side facing the door not the outside or inside) for level but that should not show as my issue, correct?

Maybe I will try some shims at the top hinge and see what that does. I have never been down this path before so time to learn a new trick!
