Texas General Warranty Deed with Vendors Lien

This deed provides a high level of protection to the grantees, as the grantor guarantees that they hold clear title to the property and have the right to sell it. The inclusion of a vendor's lien ensures that the grantor retains a security interest in the property until any debts represented by promissory notes are satisfied.
