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.
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.
In California: “An unrecorded instrument is valid as between the parties thereto and those who have notice thereof.”
Texas doesn't require you to record your trust. As long as it's signed, notarized, and properly funded, it's valid.
A deed of trust will include the same type of information stated in a mortgage document, such as: The identities of the borrower, lender, and trustee. A full description of the property to be placed in trust. Any restrictions or requirements on the use of the property while it is in trust.
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.
Typically deeds are recorded ing to state requirements upon receipt. Once they are recorded, they must be indexed, verified and scanned to appear on public records.
In order to conduct a property title search on your own without paying a lawyer or a title company, you should head to your county clerk's office. In Texas, each county clerk's office is responsible for keeping detailed property records – these records are public, and therefore available for you to view.

A title refers to property ownership. It is not a document but rather the right to use, rent, or sell the property. A deed is a legal document that transfers the property ownership. It is commonly used when buying or selling real property.
