To remove or clear a Lien on Texas property, the person or entity claiming the Lien needs to sign a document releasing the Lien. The document is usually called a Release of Lien, Lien Release, or a Deed of Reconveyance.
Obtain the lien release form: You can typically find lien release forms online on state government websites or through legal document providers. Make sure you have the correct form for your specific situation.
A deed is evidence of title. A lien release merely releases the security (lien) on the property. They are two different documents and have different purposes. For example, if a mortgage company released their lien, they no longer have a security interest in the property.
You need to contact the appropriate taxing entity for tax documents. o Deeds – The DCAD does not produce deeds; you can contact the Dallas County Clerk's office for official copies of deeds.
