| 5 | 5 | A BILL TO BE ENTITLED | |
| 6 | 6 | AN ACT | |
| 7 | 7 | relating to the effect of recording a quitclaim deed. | |
| 8 | 8 | BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | |
| 9 | 9 | SECTION 1. Chapter 13, Property Code, is amended by adding | |
| 10 | 10 | Section 13.006 to read as follows: | |
| 11 | 11 | Sec. 13.006. EFFECT OF RECORDING QUITCLAIM DEED. After the | |
| 12 | 12 | fourth anniversary of the date a quitclaim deed for real property is | |
| 13 | 13 | recorded in the deed records of the county in which the real | |
| 14 | 14 | property is located, the quitclaim deed: | |
| 15 | 15 | (1) does not affect the question of the good faith of a | |
| 16 | 16 | subsequent purchaser or creditor; and | |
| 17 | 17 | (2) is not notice to a subsequent purchaser or | |
| 18 | 18 | creditor of any unrecorded conveyance of, transfer of, or | |
| 19 | 19 | encumbrance on the real property. | |
| 20 | 20 | SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | |
| 21 | 21 | to a quitclaim deed recorded on or after the effective date of this | |
| 22 | 22 | Act. A quitclaim deed recorded before that date is governed by the | |
| 23 | 23 | law in effect immediately before the effective date of this Act, and | |
| 24 | 24 | that law is continued in effect for that purpose. | |
| 25 | 25 | SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
