The majority of Texas foreclosures are non-judicial. They require a trustee's deed (alternately called a foreclosure deed or substitute trustee's deed, if applicable) to convey foreclosed property at a trustee's sale.
Trustee's deeds identify three primary parties: the grantor, who is the trustee in the deed of trust; the beneficiary, who is the lender and grantor in the deed of trust; and the buyer, who is the grantee and purchaser of the property at the foreclosure sale.
In a deed of trust, a trustee (the grantee under the original deed of trust instrument), appointed by the lender, holds the deed to the property as collateral for a loan to be repaid by the borrower (the trustor under the deed of trust). If the borrower fails to fulfill the terms of the deed of trust, the lender can direct the trustee to enforce the terms of the deed or begin the foreclosure process. This starts with a notice mailed to the borrower, now debtor, of the intent to accelerate. Notice of sale is also recorded and posted in the county where the subject property is located, as directed by Tex. Prop. Code 51.002 et seq.
A trustee's deed may sometimes be called a substitute trustee's deed, but it is functionally the same thing. The lender may appoint a substitute trustee if the original trustee is unable to administer the sale of property at public auction. A substitute trustee is a person named by the lender under the terms of the security instrument (deed of trust) to exercise the power of sale (Tex. Prop. Code 51.0001(7)). The power to appoint a substitute trustee must be expressly designated by the lender in the deed of trust, otherwise the appointment is invalid. A substitute trustee can be appointed at any time during the foreclosure process, so long as notice of the appointment is recorded. The foreclosing trustee, regardless, is generally an attorney for the lender. The trustee should identify in the deed whether they are serving as a trustee or substitute.

World class forms, great for someone like me that has no clue what I'm doing! Always better to let the pros do it than think one knows it all and gets themselves in trouble!

Fantastic service. I purchased the form one day, had it filled out, notarized and e-filed the next day. The following day I received the recorded document back. It was really overnight service!

I'm 84 and not all that smart when it comes to what a Lawyer usually helps you with, but I took a chance to see if I could do this. Walla, I was able to do it. I was helping my son who had a stroke a few years ago and the transaction went well. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback Jacqueline. We appreciate you.

not enough room for legal description. Wouldn't allow me to enter widow status in owner box. Not clear who to send it to so I printed it out and will ask the notary who I use for recording it.
Thank you!

Highly Pleased- Strongly Recommend Deeds.com Long review... sorry:-) Originally I was very skeptical due to the enormous amount of the scams going on now days and the number of online sources that "claim" to provide you with deed forms for free or for a few. Nothing that you need and want done is free. There is always a cost. So luckily I came across deeds.com. This was the only site that appeared to be simple, to the point, and made no crazy promises. So before selecting this site, I did a little more checking around/price checking to ensure I am getting the best price for the product I needed. I even checked Staples and Amazon to find that they do indeed sell these forms but I do not think the products they provide are specific for my state and county. They claim their forms provided are for all states but my state is specific and I prefer to have forms provided by Deeds.com that is based on Indiana statute that Deed.com clearly identifies on each form. Deeds.com price of $20 seemed a little high at first but when I saw the products provided, the $20 cost is more than reasonable and fair. You not only get the deed form specific for my state and my specific "county" but also the other various/supplemental forms that may be required. Being familiar with my state and knowing how tedious and anal my state is on everything, I was pleasantly please to see the info and extra supplemental forms provided. For example, a person new to the State who recently had property deeded to them, would not necessarily know about the Homestead tax exemption provided if property is your primary residents, over 65 exemption etc. I would highly recommend this site for anyone needing these documents because Deeds.com has you covered on any and all forms/info you could ever need! A bonus is that there is one flat fee and not monthly cost that you have to worry about canceling later unless you superficially select a monthly package. I love the fact that Deeds.com is nothing fancy. There is not a bunch of elaborate graphics etc. They only provide what you need and what they provide is very accurate. Deeds.com has a customer for life.
Thank you so much Alexis. We appreciate you, have a fantastic day.

3 stars for ease of use on the website. Subracted 2 stars for the forms being PDFs that you are unable to complete online, they have to be printed. Very inefficient.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I just submitted a beneficiary deed and it was accepted immediate and then recorded the next day! I like that I receive email messages notifying me of the process. The process was super easy and seamless. It's saved me so much time that I did not have to drive to downtown Phoenix to have this document record it. I love Deeds.com.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am still in the trial stage. I am an older lawyer. Any help I can get is worth it. Once you get used to the format and data fill in the deed thing is excellent. Very professional if not a little slow. I have only done three deeds in one state so I will have to see how it goes. I like the product and their attitude towards pleasing the customer. We'll see when I try the recording part.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
