Questions answered? Let's get started!

A living trust in Texas owns nothing until title actually moves. The trust agreement transfers no real estate; the property reaches the trust only when the owner signs, delivers, and records a deed conveying it to the trustee. The Texas Warranty Deed to Trustee prepares that conveyance with a covenant of general warranty, the strongest title assurance Texas deed law provides.

Title Goes to the Trustee, Not the Trust

A Texas trust is a fiduciary relationship rather than a legal entity, so legal title to trust real estate belongs to the trustee. This deed names the grantee accordingly: the trustee, identified by name and mailing address, together with the trust's full name and the date of the trust instrument. Since 2023, Property Code Section 114.087 has backstopped that architecture by treating the trustee as the named party to any instrument that names the trust, and by giving a recorded certification of trust a presumption of correctness that good faith purchasers and lenders may rely on. A deed drafted to the trustee from the start keeps the record clean without leaning on the presumption or on a later correction instrument.

A General Warranty on the Way In

The operative language follows the statutory general warranty pattern of Property Code Section 5.022: the grantor grants, sells, and conveys the property and binds the grantor and the grantor's heirs to warrant and forever defend it against every person lawfully claiming any part of it. Carrying the full covenant into the trust preserves an unbroken chain of warranties in the title, for the benefit of the trust and of anyone who later takes from the trustee. A reservations section defines what the conveyance is subject to and where the warranty stops, such as recorded easements, mineral reservations, and an existing deed of trust lien.

Homestead, Marriage, and the Qualifying Trust

Because the property conveyed is so often the family home, the form is built around Texas homestead law. Family Code Section 5.001 requires both spouses to join in a conveyance of homestead property, and Property Code Section 41.0021(c) restates that requirement for transfers into a qualifying trust, so the deed carries a second signature block and a second acknowledgment certificate for a second grantor or a joining spouse. Property Code Section 41.0021 and Tax Code Section 11.13(j) allow a properly structured qualifying trust to keep the home's creditor protection and property tax exemption after the transfer, and the guide describes how those definitions operate and what county appraisal districts look for.

Recorded in the County Where the Property Sits

The deed is recorded with the county clerk of the county where the property is located, and it is formatted for Texas recording standards, including the confidentiality notice Property Code Section 11.008 places at the top of the first page and reserved space for the clerk's recording stamp. Texas has no deed transfer tax, so the recorded deed and any exhibits are the complete recording package.

The download includes the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example documenting a realistic Travis County trust funding, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a Texas attorney can apply these rules to a specific title or trust.

Important: Your property must be located in Calhoun County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

It was nice to find a form to use for leaving my house without having my kids deal with Probate Court. The price was a lot cheaper than paying for a Lawyer to set up a transfer of ownership.
