A release of a portion of real property from the lien of a deed of trust securing a loan on commercial real property in Texas. Lenders in Texas customarily use a partial release of lien to discharge a deed of trust lien against some but not all of the borrower's real property.
The three players involved in a deed of trust are: The ?trustor,? also known as the borrower. The ?trustee,? typically a title company with the power of sale, legal title to the real property, and the ability to hold a nonjudicial foreclosure. The ?beneficiary,? also known as the lender.
A partial lien release is a legal contract that enables your lender to release their lien on a part of your mortgaged property. Under the typical terms of a partial release, if you pay down a certain amount of your mortgage principal, your lender will agree to release some of your property from the loan contract.
Lenders in Texas customarily use a release of lien when the loan secured by a deed of trust has been paid in full or otherwise satisfied. The release of lien is recorded in the county where the real property collateral is located.
A partial release is a mortgage provision that allows some of the collateral to be released from a mortgage after the borrower pays a certain amount of the loan. Lenders require proof of payment, a survey map, appraisal, and a letter outlining the reason for the partial release.
A Standard Document used to convey Texas real property to a revocable trust. This Standard Document can be drafted as a warranty deed or special warranty deed and contains integrated notes and drafting tips.
In Texas, when the borrower's obligations under the deed of trust are fully satisfied, the lien of the deed of trust is discharged by recording a release of lien (release). A release must be recorded with the county recorder for the deed of trust to be discharged from the public records.
The Texas Deed of Trust A Deed of Trust in Texas transfers title of real property in trust. It is the equivalent to a mortgage used in other states and provides a secured interest for a lender against real estate.
Both a warranty deed and deed of trust are used to transfer the title of a property from one person to another. However, the difference between these two contracts is who is protected. As you now know, a deed of trust protects the beneficiary (lender). A warranty deed, on the other hand, protects the property owner.
The statutes of limitation for collecting (or foreclosing) on both the vendor's lien and deed of trust is four years in Texas. If no legal action has been filed for collection on the liens for four years after the liens ma- ture, there is indication the liens have been paid.

Assignments Generally:
Lenders, or holders of mortgages or deeds of trust, often assign mortgages or deeds of trust to other lenders, or third parties. When this is done the assignee (person who received the assignment) steps into the place of the original lender or assignor. To effectuate an assignment, the general rule is that the assignment must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the assignment.
Satisfactions Generally:
Once a mortgage or deed of trust is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a lien on the property. The general rule is that the satisfaction must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the satisfaction. If the lender fails to record a satisfaction within set time limits, the lender may be responsible for damages set by statute for failure to timely cancel the lien. Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction, Cancellation, or Reconveyance. Some states still recognize marginal satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out. A marginal satisfaction is where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is attested by the clerk.
