Questions answered? Let's get started!

An easement is an interest in someone else's land, and the cleanest way to take one off a Texas title is for the party who holds it to give it up in writing. This form prepares that instrument: a Release of Easement, signed by the easement holder and recorded where the burdened land sits, so the public record matches the fact that the easement is gone.

Only the Holder Can Release It

A release works because of who signs it. The holder, the owner of the land an easement appurtenant benefits, or the company named in a utility or pipeline easement in gross, is the one party who can let the right go; the owner of the burdened land cannot erase an easement that runs in someone else's favor. On this form the holder is the releasor and the signer, and the operative language has the holder release, relinquish, and quitclaim the easement so that, to the extent stated, it is terminated, extinguished, and of no further force or effect.

No Statute, So the Drafting Carries the Weight

Texas easement law is largely common law. The Legislature never wrote a release of easement form, so the instrument rests on the general rules for written conveyances and recording. Because an easement is an interest in land, Property Code Section 5.021 requires the release to be in writing, subscribed, and delivered by the holder. With no statute supplying boilerplate, the words on the page do the work: the form ties the release to the recording reference of the instrument that created the easement, describes the burdened land, names the parties, and states how much of the easement is being released.

Full Release or Partial Release

Some releases give up the whole easement; others surrender only a strip or a stated portion while the rest stays in place. The form handles both. A scope section states whether the entire easement is released or describes the part released, and the operative section keeps every portion not described as released in full force.

Why Recording Is the Point

A signed and delivered release is effective between the parties right away, but recording does something just as important: under Property Code Section 13.002 a recorded instrument is notice to all persons, and under Section 13.001 an unrecorded release is void as to a later purchaser for value without notice. Until the release reaches the county records, a title examiner still sees a live easement, so recording in the county where the property is located is what clears it from the chain of title. Senate Bill 16 added a photo identification requirement at the recording counter for instruments filed in person on or after December 4, 2025, a step that happens at the counter and changes nothing in the release itself.

An optional joinder block lets the owner of the burdened land sign the same release, recording the agreement of both sides in one document, though that signature is a convenience rather than a condition. The package includes the fillable PDF, a completed example built on a realistic Texas pipeline easement release, and a plain language guide that walks through every section and explains how the release interacts with the homestead joinder rule and the recording statutes. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

This service is WONDERUL. I spent 14 years trying to get a deed recorded properly. Deeds.com kept submitting and resubmitting after corrections until it was finally accepted. They did in one day what I couldn't get done in 14 years!

Found the forms I needed but had to type these out my self in Word since these forms do not allow any information to be saved. I understand you want this to be proprietary information but you failed to deliver a usable product. I printed this template and built my own in microsoft word. Good examples and instructions with poor execution. I lost hours of typing and nearly lost real estate deals due to these documents not being in a format ready to use. Will be using another service next time or buying these as guides alone.
