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.

Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes. Very disappointed attempted user
Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

I was hoping to find information of a property belonging to my grandparents. Your site says it can go back 10-20 years I will just have to go to the courthouse and research. But very good site if your looking for recent information.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It all started out well, then I was abruptly told that I would have to submit the documents directly to the recording office. No explanation was offered and I wasted a lot of time on your website for nothing. Very disappointing, as the concept of e-recording is what is needed in 2026.
We reviewed your order and our support messages. The document uploaded for recording was a very low-quality scan that did not meet the county’s eRecording image requirements. Our staff asked that a clearer scan be uploaded, but the same image was submitted again.
Because the document could not be processed electronically, we advised recording it directly with the county recorder’s office.
E-recording systems require clear, legible document images that meet county standards. When those requirements cannot be met, recording directly with the recorder is often the fastest option.

This was an excellent experience. The jurisdiction I was registering the Deed with, entrusts Deeds.com with their filing needs. And the staff held my hand through the process, and worked to submit the best package, and the Deed was successfully recorded.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
