FAQ
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.
Before the start of 2022, lien waiver forms had to be notarized to make it official. However, the latest updates to the Texas Lien Laws effective on January 1st, 2022 removed this requirement and lien waivers do not need to be notarized anymore.
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.
County Records Office The release of lien in Texas must be filed with the same county office where the original lien was recorded. This ensures that anyone searching the property records will find both the original lien and its subsequent release.
Interested persons may visit the county clerk's office where the lien is filed and examine relevant public records. Alternatively, the searches can be done online using the county clerk's online search tool (if available in the county of interest).
