FAQ
Texas deeds without warranty While the deed without warranty sells and conveys the property to the buyer, it's only slightly better than a quitclaim deed. It conveys title to the buyer, but there's no warranty against any defects in the title.
Because of the lack of title guarantees, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between two parties who know and trust each other, such as family members.
A Quit Claim Deed is a common method used to transfer title to real estate property in some states, but it should not be used in Texas. In Texas, you need a Warranty Deed to properly add or remove a person's name to or from the ownership of a house.
There are at least 11 types of deeds in Texas used in the transfer of real estate. Since deeds should be recorded in the deed records in the county where the property is located to give notice to the world, deeds should be notarized.
A warranty deed offers the strongest protection. It protects the party receiving the property title in case there turns out to be any issues with the title.
When committing to a general warranty deed, the seller is promising there are no liens against the property, and if there were, the seller would compensate the buyer for those claims. Mainly for this reason, general warranty deeds are the most commonly used type of deed in real estate sales.
There is one basic difference between a warranty deed and quitclaim deed: in each deed, the grantor makes a different legal statement. The warranty deed contains a promise by the grantor, called a warranty. But in a quitclaim deed, the grantor does not make any promise or warranty.
A special warranty deed guarantees two things: The grantor owns, and can sell, the property; and the property incurred no encumbrances during their ownership. A special warranty deed is more limited than the more common general warranty deed, which covers the entire history of the property.
A special warranty deed guarantees that the grantor owns and can sell the property. To the best of their knowledge, they are the owner of the property.

While the deed without warranty sells and conveys the property to the buyer, it's only slightly better than a quitclaim deed. Where quitclaim deeds provide limited security, warranty deeds offer full legal protection to grantees – or buyers – after a property changes hands.Warranty deeds are the safer option when buying property versus simply transferring ownership. Most buyers will want this option. A Quit Claim Deed is a common method used to transfer title to real estate property in some states, but it should not be used in Texas. Warranty Deeds Give Buyers Protection. A deed with no warranty differs from a quitclaim because it conveys property, and not just the grantor's interest in the property. Quit claim deeds are not acceptable in the direct chain of title and are normally used only for curative matters. In other words, the seller's liability is limited only to title defects during his or her period of ownership. A warranty deed can be used for most property transfers.
