You can use the regular expression ^OWNER$ to match spans containing only OWNER.

Replace contains(text(),"OWNER") with re:test(text(),"^OWNER$").

The advantage of regular expressions is that you could also allow for spaces (^\s*OWNER\s*$) or support different letter cases ((?i)^OWNER$).

You can select by text equation like scrapy.Selector(text=txt).xpath('//*[@class="ParamText"]/span[text()="OWNER"]').get() or without span details, it will give you the first one: scrapy.Selector(text=txt).css('div.ParamText span').get()
