Questions answered? Let's get started!

When two owners transfer Texas real estate together, the deed they sign sets how much each promises about the title. A grant deed has them convey the property with two specific covenants and nothing beyond them. This form prepares a grant deed for two grantors under Chapter 5 of the Texas Property Code.

Two Owners Conveying Together

Both owners on the current deed sign as grantors and convey the property to the grantee. How they hold title between themselves, as tenants in common, joint tenants, or community property, does not change the deed: each signs, and each conveys the property described in it. A separate notary certificate for each grantor lets the two acknowledge on different days or before different notaries, even in different states.

What the Words Grant and Convey Promise

A grant deed takes its character from Section 5.023 of the Property Code. Unless a deed provides otherwise, the words grant and convey carry two covenants: that the signer has not previously conveyed the property to anyone else, and that the signer placed no encumbrance on it. The deed adds no general or special warranty, so it makes no broader promise to defend the title. The covenants are narrow by design, reaching a grantor's own conduct rather than the full history of the title or problems that predate the grantor's ownership.

Each Grantor Answers Only for Their Own Acts

With two grantors, the Section 5.023 covenants run separately. Each grantor promises only about what that grantor did: that this signer made no earlier conveyance and placed no encumbrance. One grantor does not insure the other's conduct, and neither answers for the chain of title that came before. That per-grantor structure is the practical point of a two-owner deed, and the form states the covenant for each grantor rather than as one joint promise.

When the Two Grantors Are a Married Couple

The most common pair of grantors is a married couple selling property they own together. When the property is their homestead, Texas Family Code Section 5.001 calls for both spouses to join in the conveyance, and here both already sign as grantors, so the deed meets that rule on its face. Where a grantor's spouse is not a co-owner and the property is that grantor's homestead, the non-owner spouse signs too; the individual grantor form carries a joinder line for that signature.

Recording in Texas

A grant deed is recorded with the county clerk where the property sits. Recording does not make the deed good between the parties, a delivered deed already does that, but under Property Code Section 13.001 an unrecorded deed is void against a later buyer or creditor without notice. Texas charges no transfer tax on a deed, and since December 4, 2025, a person filing one in person shows a government photo identification under Senate Bill 16.

Related Texas Forms

The Texas Grant Deed (Individual Grantor) makes the same two covenants for a single owner and adds a joinder line for a non-owner spouse. The Texas Deed Without Warranty uses the Section 5.023 exclusion this form omits, leaving its grantee with no covenant of title. The Texas Quitclaim Deed passes only whatever interest the grantors hold, if any. The Texas Gift Deed records a transfer made for no consideration.

The form was useful, however the formatting is terrible once completed. A lot of white space with no option to remove extra spacing or to improve the overall formatting.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback, Heidi. We’re glad to hear the form itself was useful. We also understand your concern about the formatting and extra spacing once completed. Our forms are designed to meet strict county recording requirements, which can sometimes result in additional white space. That said, we’re always working to improve usability and presentation without compromising acceptance. Your input helps us identify where refinements are possible, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue updating our templates.

A suggestion: Include instructions on how to add your spouse to the deed, rather than transferring completely to a third party

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Adding a spouse to a deed is a common need, and suggestions like yours help us identify where additional guidance would be useful. We’ll take this into consideration as we continue improving our resources.

I liked the ease of locating the document I needed and the sample document was extremely helpful. I would have liked the acknowledgement to be on the same page as the rest of the document. It costs for each page recorded.
