A deed is the document in Texas that serves to actually transfer title to a parcel of real estate from one owner to another. It must be signed by the Grantor, notarized by a notary public, delivered to and accepted by the Grantee, and filed of record at the appropriate county courthouse to be fully effective. In drafting a deed, careful consideration must be made as to whether the parties are married, whether minerals will convey, whether restrictions do or shall affect the property, and the status of financing and liens.

The following questions should be answered in order for us to prepare correct and enforceable documents:
Property Address: Property City: Property State: Property Zip Code:
A property is legally described not by an address but the lot/block in a platted subdivision, or by "Metes and Bounds" in unplatted parcels. Property is indexed and recorded in the public records only by the legal description, so this information is usually important in all enforceable real estate documents.
Lot , Block , Addition to the City of , County, Texas.
If property is not in a lot/block subdivision, but surveyed by "METES and BOUNDS", please locate the metes and bounds description on the back of your existing deed and either fax it to us at 817.737.7201 or upload at the bottom of this questionnaire.
