In Texas a trust is not a legal entity. Rather, it is a legal relationship in which a trustee holds legal title for the benefit of another person called the beneficiary. Unlike a corporation, which is required to file a certificate of formation with the Secretary of State, there is no such requirement for a trust.

Creating a living trust in Texas is a matter of personal choice, but many people find the benefits worthwhile. Your trust keeps your personal business out of the public eye. Wills must go through probate and become public record. A trust is not probated and does not become public record.
To transfer real property into your Trust, a new deed reflecting the name of the Trust must be executed, notarized and recorded with the County Recorder in the County where the property is located. Care must be taken that the exact legal description in the existing deed appears on the new deed.
