A Texas quitclaim deed releases to the grantee whatever right, title, and interest the grantor holds in real property, if any, without any warranty of title. It is commonly associated with releases of claimed or uncertain interests, including divorce-related transfers, inherited-property transfers among co-heirs, family transfers, and releases intended to remove a doubtful claim from the title record.
How a Texas Quitclaim Deed Works
No Texas statute creates the quitclaim deed; it is a common law conveyance. Texas case law distinguishes a deed that conveys property from an instrument that conveys or releases only the grantor's rights in that property, if any. This form is drafted around that distinction. It releases and quitclaims the grantor's interest, and it expressly disclaims the covenants that Property Code Section 5.023 would otherwise imply from words such as grant or convey, so the instrument carries no covenant of title.
The grantee receives whatever interest the grantor holds at delivery, if any, without title warranty covenants. The form therefore documents a release of the grantor's possible interest rather than a warranted conveyance of title.
Texas law also addresses the quitclaim deed's effect in the recording system. Under long standing case law, a buyer taking by quitclaim took with notice of doubts about the title and could not be a bona fide purchaser. Property Code Section 13.006, added in 2021, provides that a quitclaim recorded on or after September 1, 2021 loses that effect four years after recording. The guide explains this rule alongside the recording statutes and the photo identification requirement for presenting deeds in person at the clerk's office.
What This Form Describes
The form provides space for one or two grantors and one or more grantees. The two-grantor arrangement also reflects Texas homestead law. Because a quitclaim deed is a present conveyance, Texas Family Code Section 5.001 addresses spousal joinder for a conveyance of homestead property. The form includes a second grantor signature area that can be used for a joining spouse, with a separate notary certificate for each signer.
The quitclaim deed carries no covenants of title. Warranty deed forms, including general warranty deeds and special warranty deeds, contain title warranty covenants that a quitclaim deed does not include. The Texas Transfer on Death Deed (Individual) operates on a different timeline: it is revocable during the owner's life and is designed for a transfer that occurs at death rather than as a present lifetime conveyance.
What Is Included
- The blank quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, completed on screen or printed and completed by hand
- A plain language guide that walks through every numbered section: what each blank asks, where the information typically comes from, and how a sample entry may look
- A completed example showing the entire document filled in for a realistic Texas fact pattern
The document is formatted for Texas recording standards: letter size pages within the dimensions of Local Government Code Section 191.007, body text well above the 8 point minimum, the notice of confidentiality rights required by Property Code Section 11.008 in 12 point boldfaced capitals at the top of the first page, and reserved space on page one for the county clerk's recording stamp. A separate instructions page, removed before recording, covers completion conventions such as exhibit continuation pages, so the recorded document carries only the statutory notice and the deed itself, free of worksheet-style captions.
Related Texas Forms
The Texas Deed Without Warranty is another no-warranty Texas deed form. Unlike a quitclaim deed, which releases whatever right, title, or interest the grantor may have, if any, a deed without warranty is structured as a conveyance of real property without title warranties from the grantor.

The Quitclaim deed form was fine. Unfortunately, all I wanted to accomplish was to transfer property held in my name into my trust, but I could not any wording on the information you provided on how to accomplish this. It was not a sale, just a transfer from me to me as trustee.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The Quit Claim Deed for the state of Ohio worked for me, saving me the cost of an attorney doing it. O.K., maybe that wouldn't have amounted to more than a few hundred dollars, but anywhere I thought I could save money (and learn something new on top of it) is something I want to do. That said, be forwarned. While I'm not an attorney I'm not averse to spending many hours researching the lingo found in this kind of form and thoroughly understanding exactly how everything has to be filled in. I should add that my ex-wife and I remain friends and she was the one giving me the property/house (thus, technically I filled out the forms on her behalf). Because there was no personal conflict, it made it easier to undertake. Lastly, what others have said about the county office where you must file a Quit Claim Deed not being helpful, that's true in the sense that they do not want to be instructing non-attorneys on filling out the necessary forms. I did take a preliminary draft set of the forms to the county office but was VERY CAREFUL about explaining that I only needed a couple of questions answered about procedure for submitting the final documents. They were helpful once I made it clear I wasn't asking them for "legal advice". And their help was critical as the final submittals requires stopping at three different offices (MapDocuments, Auditor and finally the Recorder's office). So I say thank you to Deeds.com. Their service for the Quit Claim Deed was invaluable.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem. Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description! Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
Thank you for your feedback Thomas, we appreciate you being specific about the issues you encountered. Adobe and Mac have a fairly long history of issues working together.

I found the site very easy to use and upfront about the cost. I had tried two other sites both of which had hidden costs until after I filled out the forms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I thought the instructions could have been a little better. I didn't know how to do this if the spouses are married but living in separate residences. Also I didn't understand the "Prior Instrument Reference". That should be explained better. Very sketchy instructions.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very fast and efficient. Easy to fill out but was upset the latest tax exemptions ruled in 2014 did not seem to be included. Exclusion of sale to blood relatives, etc. _ the one I needed.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
