Understanding Deeds and Texas Property Law

Key insights for accurate transfers and protection

In Texas, the type of deed you use determines the level of protection for both the buyer and the seller. For Houston property owners, properly drafted deeds are critical to establishing clear title and avoiding legal disputes later. Filing errors or incomplete language can invalidate a transfer, making professional guidance essential.



Harris County requires deeds to meet specific formatting and content standards before they can be recorded. Working with an attorney helps ensure that your document is prepared correctly and complies with local regulations. At Lindholm Law, we draft and review deeds with precision, ensuring your transaction is handled smoothly and your rights are protected.

Common Questions About Property Deeds

Thorough answers for Houston property transfers

  • Why is it important to have an attorney draft my deed?

    An attorney ensures the deed is accurate, complies with Texas law, and properly reflects the terms of the transfer. Mistakes in drafting can cause title issues, disputes, or even invalidate the transfer. We handle the details to give you peace of mind that your property rights are secure.

  • What is the difference between a general warranty deed and a quitclaim deed?

    A general warranty deed provides the highest level of protection for the buyer by guaranteeing clear title. A quitclaim deed offers no warranties and simply transfers whatever interest the grantor has, if any. We help you choose the right type of deed for your situation and ensure it is executed properly.

  • Do I need to record my deed with the county?

    Yes, recording the deed with Harris County or the appropriate jurisdiction is necessary to make the transfer legally binding and part of the public record. We prepare and file deeds to ensure they are recorded correctly and on time.

  • Can I transfer property to a family member without selling it?

    Absolutely. A gift deed allows you to transfer property without a sales transaction. We ensure the deed is properly drafted to reflect the gift and filed in compliance with Texas law to avoid future ownership questions.
