What Texas law says about recording
The county clerk serves as the county recorder, and deeds and other instruments are recorded in the county where the property is located (Local Government Code Sec. 191.001). The clerk must correctly record instruments that are proved, acknowledged or sworn to, in the order filed (Property Code Sec. 11.004).
A deed for real property executed after December 31, 1981 must show a mailing address for each grantee, or the filer pays a penalty fee equal to the greater of $25 or twice the statutory recording fee (Sec. 11.003). See Texas property records and the warranty deed and quitclaim deed guides.
