The Texas general warranty deed for joint grantors is the instrument two owners use to convey real estate together during their lives while making the broadest promise of title that Texas law recognizes. The Grantors convey the property to the grantee and bind themselves and their heirs to warrant and forever defend the title against every person lawfully claiming it, except as to the reservations and exceptions stated in the deed. The most common two grantor conveyance is a married couple selling property they hold as community property, though co-owners who are not married to each other also convey on this form. This package prepares that deed for two grantors, with a fillable form, a completed example, and a section by section guide.

What a general warranty promises

A general warranty reaches back through the entire chain of title. The covenant is not limited to claims arising from a grantor's own acts; it defends against defects that may have originated with any prior owner. Texas Property Code Section 5.022 supplies the statutory warranty language, and Section 5.023 adds two implied covenants that ride the words grant and convey: that the grantors have not previously conveyed the same interest, and that the property is free from encumbrances. A general warranty deed retains those implied covenants rather than disclaiming them, layering them beneath the express warranty. The deed uses Grantor as a defined term that includes each of the two grantors, so each grantor is bound by the conveyance and the warranty.

What the form covers

The deed is organized into numbered sections that track the order of a recorded Texas conveyance:

  • Two grantor blocks and a grantee block, with marital status and the form of co-ownership where it applies
  • The legal description of the property and its street address
  • The source of title, identifying the recorded instrument by which the grantors hold
  • Reservations and exceptions, which carve matters out of both the conveyance and the warranty
  • The consideration recital and the operative conveyance and warranty language
  • A construction provision that applies the operative terms to both grantors

Signing and recording

Both grantors sign the deed, each before a notary public, and each signature has its own acknowledgment certificate. Where a married couple conveys community property, the two spouses sign as the two grantors, and those joint signatures satisfy the homestead joinder requirement of Texas Family Code Section 5.001. After signing, the deed is recorded with the county clerk of the county where the property is located. The confidentiality notice required by Property Code Section 11.008 appears at the top of the first page, and Senate Bill 16 added a photo identification requirement at the recording counter for instruments filed in person on or after December 4, 2025.

What the package includes

The package contains a blank fillable deed, a completed example showing every field filled in, and a guide that explains each section, the governing statutes, and the recording process in plain language. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Received the documents, but the explanation and process is not as straightforward as I would have liked. The Instructions and Sample document were not always easy to follow. I may just have a real estate lawyer perform the task.

At first glance, explanations and guidance to fill out the grant deed seems quite direct and no too difficult. I did not see any reference to a mortgagee which I believe needs to be incorporated in a boundary line adjustment (BLA), though not sure I'll do the actual filling out the form in the next couple of weeks and will be in a better position for a more complete review.

I wish all the forms had been in a downloadable package so that it wasn't so difficult to make sure I had them all. Too many pages open on the click throughs. I haven't had a chance to fill them out but hope they are all there.
