Questions answered? Let's get started!

Section 3 of this Texas quitclaim deed asks four things about a decree of divorce: the court that rendered it, the cause number, the county of that court, and the date the decree was signed. Those four lines are what set this version of the form apart. Everything after them releases whatever interest one former spouse holds in a described parcel to the other, on a single signature line, with no warranty of title attached to what passes.

Four lines that put the release beside the decree

A divorce court divides the marital estate. It does not update the index kept by the county clerk, and Texas leaves two routes for closing that gap. A certified copy of a decree drafted with the necessary terms may be filed in the real property records, which puts the decree's contents into public view. Alternatively, the former spouse being divested signs a deed, and the record changes without the decree ever being filed. This form takes the second route and names the decree on its own face, so an examiner reading the release years later finds the court, cause number, and date without hunting for them. The operative section adds that the deed neither modifies the decree nor enlarges any right it awards.

What a release reaches after a decree, and what it leaves alone

No statute creates the quitclaim deed in Texas. Courts read an instrument's own words and ask whether the language passes the land itself or only the signer's rights in it. This form sits squarely on the release side: it releases, remises, and quitclaims the grantor's right, title, and interest, if any, and it expressly excludes the covenants that Property Code Section 5.023 would otherwise imply from words of grant. Nothing greater than the interest held at delivery passes, and after acquired title stays behind. Family Code Section 7.001 gives a divorcing court power to divide the community estate, while Texas case law keeps separate real property outside that power, so a release covers exactly what the signer actually owned.

Debt is untouched. A release of an interest in land leaves the note and the deed of trust where they were, so a former spouse who signed a mortgage stays liable on it and the lien keeps burdening the parcel. Refinancing, assumption, or a lender release reach a loan; a deed does not.

One grantor, one grantee, one certificate

The form recites exactly two people, the same two the decree names: the former spouse releasing the interest and the former spouse receiving it. One signature block appears, with one acknowledgment certificate, because a quitclaim operates on the granting side alone and the receiving party signs nothing. No joining spouse block appears either. Family Code Section 5.001 conditions a homestead conveyance on the joinder of both spouses, and the decree recited in Section 3 has ended the marriage between the two parties on this deed, so that section supplies no joinder between them. Two arrangements present this configuration in the Texas records: a decree awarding the residence to one former spouse while the other signs a release, and a jointly titled parcel the decree left undivided, held afterward as a tenancy in common, that the parties settle between themselves. Sections 7 and 8 carry the vesting instrument and the exceptions the release is subject to.

Filing it, and the four year clock a quitclaim starts

Filing happens with the clerk of the county holding the land, which need not be the county of the divorce court. Formatting standards sit in Local Government Code Section 191.007, and a page outside them draws a doubled fee rather than a refusal. Since December 4, 2025, an individual handing an instrument across the counter presents photo identification, copied at no charge and kept confidential. One rule belongs to this instrument alone: under Property Code Section 13.006, a quitclaim filed on or after September 1, 2021 stops bearing on the good faith of a later purchaser or creditor once four years have run from the date of filing, so the filing date starts a clock a title examiner reads much later.

Included with the purchase are the fillable deed, a completed example worked through a Denton County release following a 2026 decree, and a plain language guide that walks from the decree lines to the clerk's counter, section by section. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Very satisfied. Download was easy, completing the form was easy, got our signatures notarized and submitted it to the register of deeds. The only item was that the register of deeds did not immediately recognize the TOD deed form as the usual form they receive. After carefully reviewing all the information and wording on the deed she accepted it.

This is quick, easy, and very reasonably priced. I wish I found this site before doing my living trust. I had the company who does my trust do the transfer deed and they charged an additional $329 for the deed alone.
