You do not have to record the deed to make the transfer valid between the parties. However, as described above, the grantee will want to record the deed as soon as possible after receiving delivery.
So, put simply, if your deed was not recorded or you have discovered unrecorded deeds in your chain of title, there is no need to worry. The deeds themselves will still be valid and you can file correction instruments to correct any mistakes.
In Texas, you record your deed with the County Clerk in the county where the property exists. If the property is in more than one county, record it in each. It is important to record your deed. In Texas, the property is legally transferred when the grantee accepts the signed deed.
The deed of trust must then be recorded with the county where the property is located, and each of the parties (the trustor, trustee, and lender) should keep a copy of the recorded document.
Texas doesn't require you to record your trust. As long as it's signed, notarized, and properly funded, it's valid.
How to Complete a Texas Transfer-on-Death Deed Fill out the deed. Sign the deed in front of a notary public. Give the deed to the beneficiary. Upon your death, the beneficiary must provide proof of your death and file the deed with the county clerk's office in the county where the property is located.
WHERE DO I RECORD THE DEED? After the deed has been signed and notarized, the original needs to be filed and recorded with the county clerk in the county where the property is located. You can mail the deed or take it to the county clerk's office in person. Only original documents may be recorded.
There are a few ways to check for that information: Talking to a real estate agent who can pull property records. Consulting with a homeowners association (if the property is governed by one). Reaching out to the local clerk's office, as they can pull historical property records.
