The Texas deed refers to a document that takes into consideration the conveyance of a property from an individual (grantor) to another individual (grantee). This conveyance is finished by recording one of the types of deed and inputting the individuals’ names, the stipulated amount for purchase (known as consideration), as well as the legal description of the property. When this document is finished it ought to be endorsed within the sight of a legal (notary) official and from that point, it is to be taken for recording at the county clerk's office.

Recording (V.T.C.A., Property Code § 11.001) – All deeds should be documented at the Office of the Registry of Deeds in the Office of the Clerk in the County wherein the real estate (property) can be found.
Required Language (V.T.C.A., Property Code § 11.008 (c) – The statement in this webpage should be in capitalized letters with no less than a font size of 12 and should be in bold.
Signing (V.T.C.A., Property Code § 12.001) – All deeds should be signed by the grantor(s) in the presence of two observers or a public legal (Notary) official before being documented.
Types of Deed
General Warranty – This is the most secure and most advantageous method for moving real estate (property) because it ensures title from the current proprietor as well as from all past proprietors so that the ownership that will be ascribed to the new proprietor is free from defects.
Quitclaim – This type of deed only conveys the title of Grantor in the property to the new proprietor. Albeit, this doesn't ensure that the Grantor has a clear title in the property (as per Diversified, Inc. v. Lobby) and this makes this kind of deed bear a high risk.
Special Warranty – This grants restricted insurance to the new proprietor concerning the title security. This type of deed is not secured as the General Warranty yet will give such assurances on a restricted and explicit premise.
