About this Texas form
A Texas deed without warranty is used to transfer Texas real property when the grantor is conveying title but is not giving title-warranty promises. It is different from a quitclaim deed, which releases only whatever interest or claim the grantor may have. A deed without warranty can be the better Texas no-warranty path when Texas counsel or a title company specifically recommends that form, but it does not replace a title search, title insurance, lender review, tax review, or transaction-specific legal advice.
The Texas deed-without-warranty package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Texas Deed Without Warranty and a separate Texas Deed Without Warranty Instructions and Recording Checklist. The instruction file is provided separately so customers do not accidentally record non-recordable completion guidance as part of the deed.
This form may be considered for selected no-warranty transfers where title is still being conveyed and the parties intend deed-without-warranty treatment. Common examples can include some known-party, title-company-directed, or internal ownership transfers. It should not be chosen merely because it sounds simpler than a warranty deed; the intended warranty scope, title facts, lender requirements, and homestead or spouse-joinder issues should be reviewed before signing.
A Texas deed without warranty conveys title without deed warranties, subject to the wording and exceptions in the instrument. A Texas quitclaim deed releases only the grantor's possible interest or claim, if any, and is often disfavored in ordinary arm's-length or title-insured transactions. If the goal is a no-warranty Texas conveyance rather than a limited release of possible interest, ask Texas counsel or the title company whether a deed without warranty is the appropriate instrument.

No. The deed is designed for a no-warranty conveyance. It transfers title according to the deed's wording but does not give the grantee title-warranty or defense promises from the grantor.
No. A deed without warranty is a conveyance without title warranties. A quitclaim deed releases only whatever right, title, interest, or claim the grantor may have, if any. Texas quitclaim deeds are often commercially sensitive, so confirm the intended instrument before relying on either form.
Record the deed with the County Clerk in the Texas county where the real property is located. If the property spans more than one county, confirm whether recording is needed in each county.
The product includes the editable Texas Deed Without Warranty Word document and a separate editable Texas Deed Without Warranty Instructions and Recording Checklist Word document.
Yes. Texas homestead and spouse-joinder rules are important and fact-specific. If the property is or may be a homestead, confirm the required signers and wording with Texas counsel or a title company before signing or recording.
