It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating ...
A deed can only convey what the grantor owns and no more. This is true even if the deed “purports to transfer a greater right or estate in the property” (Prop. Code Sec. 5.003).

Warranty Deeds are the basic staple of real estate property transfers in Texas. These deeds are commonly used to transfer ownership of a house or other real estate between a Seller and a Buyer. Be advised that the Seller needs to be alive and legally competent to sign documents.
To start, a “Deed” is the name of the most common document used to transfer title of real estate. And the most common deeds are the General Warranty Deed and the Special Warranty Deed. The primary difference between these two deeds is the extent of the “warranties” the seller is giving to the buyer.
A traditional deed simply transfers the ownership of a property from one party to another (in other words, the seller to the buyer.) Whoever legally holds the deed is the rightful owner of the property. A warranty deed, on the other hand, contains special assurances that the seller makes to the buyer.
