Texas General Warranty Deed Form
Last updated May 16th, 2025
A Texas general warranty deed transfers ownership interest in real estate and provides the grantee with assurance that the grantor holds a clear title. The warranty implies that there are no liens or encumbrances attached to the property’s title and that the grantor bears the liability for any issues that come to light after the deed is executed.
How to Format
Layout
- The document must be on paper not larger than 8.5″ x 14″.
- Font size must be at least 8 pt.[1]
Signatures
Deeds must be signed by the grantor (person transferring ownership) before two witnesses or a notary public.[2]
Recording
A deed can be recorded with the county clerk in the county where the property is located.[3] Unrecorded deeds are still legally valid, but filing with the clerk acts as notice to any creditors or other interested parties.[4]
The county clerk will charge a fee of $25 per 1-page document and $4 for each additional page.[5]
