Quitclaim Deeds in Texas
Texas quitclaim deeds are governed by the Texas Property Code. In Texas, a quitclaim deed is not technically considered a "conveyance" of title, but rather a transfer of the grantor's raw claim or chance of title (Tex. Prop. Code § 12.001).
Texas deeds must be signed by the grantor, notarized, and recorded in the county clerk's office. Texas does not require witness signatures for deeds.
