• A Special Warranty Deed: A special warranty deed is like a general warranty deed, but it only provides warranties for the time that the seller owned the property. This means that the buyer is not protected against any defects that occurred before the seller took ownership of the property.

• A Deed without Warranty: This type of deed provides no warranties or guarantees from the seller to the buyer. The seller simply transfers their ownership interest in the property to the buyer, and the buyer assumes any risks associated with the property.

• A Quitclaim Deed: While not favored by Texas Courts, a quitclaim deed is used to transfer any interest in the property that the seller might have, but it does not provide any warranties or guarantees. Essentially, this type of deed doesn’t convey anything—just the relinquishment of the seller’s claims to or interest in the property—if they had any interest in the first place.

• A Deed of Trust: A deed of trust is not technically a deed, but rather a document used to secure a loan on a property. The borrower transfers the legal title of the property to a trustee, who holds it as security for the loan. Once the loan is repaid, the title is transferred back to the borrower.

• The last deed in our list is a Sheriff's Deed: A sheriff's deed is a type of deed that is issued when a property is sold at a public auction due to foreclosure or other legal action. The deed transfers ownership of the property from the former owner to the buyer, but it may not provide any warranties or guarantees.

It's important to note the specific warranties for each type of deed. If you or your client have any questions regarding their deed or the deed that is transferring in your transaction, it's always a good idea to consult with a licensed real estate attorney or title company for guidance.
