How to Transfer Property Ownership in Texas Without a Realtor

Need to Update a Deed or Gift Property in Texas?

Whether you’re adding a spouse to your deed, gifting property to a child, or transferring ownership after divorce or death — you don’t need a realtor. In Texas, these changes can often be done with a simple deed transfer, saving you time, stress, and closing costs.

🧾 Common Reasons for Deed Transfers in Texas

  • Marriage or divorce: Add or remove a spouse from the deed

  • Gifting property: Transfer real estate to a child or family member

  • Estate planning: Add a Transfer on Death Deed to avoid probate

  • Correcting title errors: Fix names, typos, or legal descriptions

  • Selling without a realtor: For private or family sales


🛠️ Types of Deeds Used in Texas

Depending on your situation, a lawyer may recommend:

  • General Warranty Deed – Best for full ownership transfers with guarantees

  • Special Warranty Deed – Common in Texas; limited title guarantees

  • Quitclaim Deed – Transfers whatever interest the grantor has, no guarantees

  • Transfer on Death Deed (TODD) – Keeps property out of probate after death

Each type has legal consequences — the wrong one could expose you to liability or cloud the title.
