Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Texas transfer on death deed is revocable for the owner's entire life, but revoking one takes a recorded instrument, not a new will and not a note in a drawer. This form prepares the revocation instrument that Section 114.057 of the Texas Estates Code describes, for a deed made by a single transferor. The same instrument is also commonly called a cancellation of transfer on death deed.
How Revocation Works in Texas
Section 114.057 recognizes two recorded paths: a new transfer on death deed that revokes an earlier one to the extent of any inconsistency, and a separate revocation instrument that revokes the deed it describes. A will does not revoke or supersede a transfer on death deed, so a recorded deed left in place controls over a later will that says something different.
The revocation carries its own timing rules. It operates only if it is acknowledged after the deed being revoked was acknowledged, and recorded before the transferor's death in the deed records of the county where the deed being revoked is recorded. A signed revocation left in a drawer at the owner's death revokes nothing, and the form states these requirements in capital letters above the signature line.
What the Form Asks For
The revocation identifies the transferor, the property by county and formal legal description, and the deed being revoked by its date, recording date, document or instrument number, and recording county, all taken from the clerk's stamp on the recorded deed or the clerk's online index. The guide shows where each item appears, and the completed example documents a realistic revocation from start to finish.
What a Revocation Does and Leaves in Place
A revocation takes the deed out of effect without putting a new designation in its place, so the property returns to passing under the owner's will or by intestacy. A new transfer on death deed naming different beneficiaries is the other recorded path, and it revokes an inconsistent earlier deed on its own. The guide describes both paths.
What Is Included
- The blank form as a fillable PDF, completed on screen or printed and filled in by hand
- A plain language guide covering every numbered section, what each blank asks, and where the information comes from
- A completed example showing the whole document filled in for a realistic Texas fact pattern
Texas Recording Compliance
The document is formatted for Texas recording standards: letter size pages within the dimensions of Local Government Code Section 191.007, 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 at the front of the file, not part of the recorded instrument, explains how an entry that outgrows its space continues on a recorded exhibit page. Senate Bill 16, enacted in 2025, also requires a person who presents a document in person for filing in the real property records to present a photo identification to the county clerk, and the guide covers that step in its recording section.

The form was incompatible with my son's new computer. I do not have a printer. We did use your form to type a copy into "word" so he could print it.
Thank you!

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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Sorry to hear of the struggle you had using our forms. We will look into the issues you reported to see what we can do to provide a better product. For your trouble we have provided a full refund of your order.

Used a form from this service. Best part about these forms is that they don't let you get in trouble by removing or changing things that should not be changed. It's easy to look at something and think why is this margin so big, why is this field so small and want to change it only to find out it is incredibly important. That's why they are the deed document pros.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear you found our forms reliable and well-structured. It’s true—what might look like an odd margin or a small field is often there for a very specific legal or recording reason. We’ve seen how small changes can lead to big headaches, which is why we design our documents to be both user-friendly and compliant with strict recording standards. We really appreciate you recognizing the care that goes into each one. Thanks again for choosing us!

Order Process: 5 Stars - very easy Material Received: 2 Stars Issues: 1. Printing- Document would not print in format displayed. Format would continually shrink to approx 2/3 size thus not useable for formal doc submission to County Records office. 2. Document Format- Data insertion fields (addresses) were not of correct size for data input. I needed a 4 line input space but was limited to only 3 lines. Also, Date field (year) was mis-oriented in-so-much that the 3rd digit (inputted) overlapped on 2nd digit (pre-printed) and also was of noticeably different font. 3. Useability- Hand-written input space provided (for Notary) was deficient in space and spacing. It was a challenge to utilize the space available to complete fully and maintain legibility. Overall - the document worked marginally as advertised, I did need to re-write the entire document myself. It is a good concept but I'd recommend that Deeds company improve the downloaded forms for actual useability, readability, functionability. regards, Jim S
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Was working with a notary client that need to do a deed. We got on this site, ordered the blank forms, he filled them out and we printed them so he could sign. Really clean forms, easy to understand and complete in a hurry. I will be letting all my clients know about this site.
That's terrific Camesha, glad to hear. Have a great day!
