Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Texas gift deed transfers real property to a family member or other recipient now, during the owner's life, for no money. The consideration is love and affection, the transfer is immediate and complete, and the recorded deed documents the gift in the county records. This form prepares a Texas gift deed under the conveyancing statutes of Property Code Chapter 5, with the recitals Texas case law and marital property law expect a gift conveyance to carry.

How a Texas Gift Deed Works

No Texas statute names the gift deed; it is built from Property Code Section 5.021, which requires a written, signed, and delivered instrument, and from the case law of gifts, which requires donative intent, delivery, and acceptance. This form recites all three elements in operative terms, so the document itself shows an immediate, unconditional, completed gift rather than a promise that waits for a future event.

The deed conveys the property itself, with words of grant and a habendum clause, but without warranty of title, the posture most often seen when property moves inside a family. Texas Property Code Section 5.023 would imply title covenants into any deed that uses the words grant or convey, so the form expressly excludes them, the mechanism the statute itself provides.

The Separate Property Recital

This is the detail generic forms miss. Under Texas Family Code Section 3.001 and Article XVI, Section 15 of the Texas Constitution, property a spouse acquires by gift is that spouse's separate property, an exception to the community property presumption. The form recites the gift characterization expressly, so a married grantee's separate property claim is supported on the face of the recorded deed, and the guide explains the related presumption for gifts between spouses under Section 3.005.

Homestead and Married Grantors

A gift deed is a lifetime conveyance, so the homestead joinder rule of Family Code Section 5.001 applies: where a married grantor conveys homestead property, the grantor's spouse joins by signing. The form carries a labeled second signature block for a second grantor or a joining spouse, each signer with a separate notary certificate.

What Is Included

  • The blank gift deed as a fillable PDF, completed on screen or printed and completed by hand
  • A plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, plus recording, creditor, and federal gift tax considerations described in general terms
  • A completed example showing the entire deed filled in for a realistic Bexar County family gift

The document is formatted for Texas recording standards: letter size pages within Local Government Code Section 191.007, the Property Code Section 11.008 notice of confidentiality rights in 12 point capitals at the top of the first page, grantee address blanks that serve Section 11.003, and reserved space on page one for the clerk's recording stamp. A non-recorded instructions page at the front of the PDF covers completion basics and is removed before signing.

Related Texas Forms

The Texas General Warranty Deed includes general warranty covenants. The Texas Deed Without Warranty conveys real property without title warranty covenants outside the gift-deed format. The Texas Quitclaim Deed is structured as a release of whatever interest, if any, the signer may have in the property. The Texas Transfer on Death Deed (Individual) is designed for a transfer that occurs at the owner's death rather than as a present lifetime conveyance.

I found your instructions and sample for completing a quit-claim deed in Arizona to be simple and easy to follow with one exception. The website to use in order to determine the code for the reason for exemption of fees was incorrect, as a result of which I had to contact the County Recorder to obtain that information.

I needed a Missouri Notice of Intent to Sell without a named designated buyer. Mo Statutes require notice be notarized and filed 45 days before any closing to protect buyer from liens. You do not have that document. We are flipping a house so it must be filed. Our lawyer was on vacation. Cannot find one anywhere on net. Finally got a template from our title company.

its a bit confusing for a novice computer user. I would prefer to print out the forms, fill them out on paper, then attach them to an email to discuss the accuracy of the forms with a friend, and then take the completed forms to the County office to be recorded

This was so easy to download, open the files and then complete the document on the computer then printing out. I waited to review this until we took it to Courthouse for the Recorder of Deeds and the legal task is now done. An attorney would probably have charge $300. This is a real deal packet!

Your program was invaluable to us, I used it for my Mom's estate and when she passed the transition was seamless and no probate was involved. I am going to use this for myself to transfer my property over to my children in upon my death. Can't say enough positive things about it. Thanks, Allen
