Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Texas transfer on death deed lets a property owner name who receives their real estate when they die, without probate, without giving up anything during life. This form prepares a transfer on death deed for one owner under Chapter 114 of the Texas Estates Code, the Texas Real Property Transfer on Death Act.

How a Texas Transfer on Death Deed Works

The deed is nontestamentary. It transfers no interest while the owner is alive, so the owner keeps full control: the property can still be sold, mortgaged, or leased, homestead status and property tax exemptions are unaffected, and the deed can be revoked at any time. At the owner's death, the beneficiary named in the deed receives whatever interest the owner holds at that moment, subject to any mortgage or other matters then affecting title.

Texas wrote several of its own rules into Chapter 114. The capacity required is the capacity to make a contract, not a will, and the deed cannot be created through a power of attorney. A will does not revoke or override a recorded transfer on death deed. Most importantly, the deed must be recorded before the owner's death in the county where the property is located; an unrecorded deed transfers nothing, no matter how carefully it was signed and notarized.

Who This Form Describes

This form recites a single transferor: one record owner of Texas real property, married or unmarried, signing alone. A spouse who is not a record owner is not a transferor and has no signature line, and the guide explains why the spousal joinder rule for homestead conveyances does not reach a deed that conveys nothing during life.

Married couples who hold plain community property, the default for property acquired during a Texas marriage, often use a pair of these deeds: each spouse signs one naming the other spouse as primary beneficiary and the same alternates, so the survivor receives the property at the first death and the alternates receive it at the second. Where title carries a right of survivorship, the joint owner and community property versions of this deed recite that vesting instead.

Beneficiaries and Survival

The form provides for primary beneficiaries, optional alternates, and optional special provisions such as unequal shares. Under Section 114.103, a beneficiary must survive the owner by 120 hours, and where no special provision says otherwise, multiple beneficiaries take equal undivided shares.

What Is Included

  • The blank form 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 comes from, and what a correct entry looks like
  • 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 at 10 point, 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 2025 enactment, Senate Bill 16 of the Second Called Session of the 89th Legislature, also directs the county clerk to require photo identification from a person who presents a document in person for filing in the real property records, a step that takes place at the counter and does not change the content of the deed. A separate instructions page included with the form, removed before recording, describes how an entry that outgrows its space continues on a recorded exhibit page, so the recorded deed stays free of worksheet style captions.

Related Texas Forms

A recorded deed is revoked with the Texas Cancellation of Transfer on Death Deed (Individual) or by recording a new, inconsistent deed. After the owner's death, the beneficiary records the Texas Affidavit of Death for Transfer on Death Deed with a certified death certificate to document the transfer in the county records.

THIS SERVICE IS DIFFICULT TO USE AND TROUBLESOME, IN MY PROFESSIOBAL OPINION; a true NUGHTMARE! As a Title / Petroleum Land Professional (Landman), I use a wide variert of online title research tools and services. Mist are EXTREMELY COMPREHENSIVE, and relatively easy to perform one’s research. I am beginning to beliece that there is no search intrrfaxe here; just a long list of instructions full of circular references that simply tuns the researcher around and around to the same pages repeatedly. This service takes users NOWHERE. Good luck to those seeking to waste their time reading a vast set of redundant words and NO INTERFACE FOR CREATING OR EXECUTING AN AXTUAL SEARCH.

LOVE THIS!! I am a REALTORand from time to time I have had to take documents for filing. I'm so glad I invested some time online researching eFiling services. The first few search results that populated required an expensive annual or monthly subscription. Luckily I continued to scroll and found Deeds.com. No annual or monthly subscription required. Just pay per use. I uploaded a ROL late one night and Deed.com had it eFiled the very next morning!!! They keep you updated throughout the process via email notifications which you click on the link provided in the email that directs you to your online portal to view the status and once your documents have been filed you can immediately download the filed of record documents including the receipt from the county in which the documents were filed. SO SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, & QUICK-THANK YOU DEEDS.com!!!
