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.
To ensure a proper payoff, sellers or closing agents must contact the lien holder or their attorney for an official payoff statement. This statement outlines the final payoff amount and includes details on principal balances, accrued interest, attorney's fees, and administrative costs.
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.
Yes, it happens. Sometimes a court decision or settlement results in a lien being placed on a property without the owner's immediate knowledge. This typically occurs when a court-ordered lien or certificate of judgment is issued against you and recorded at the county recordings office.
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).
If you don't have a title in hand you'll have to process the lien release before you can sell it.
