A Warranty Deed transfers property ownership and includes legal guarantees from the seller.

General Warranty Deed
Covers the entire history of the property, including previous owners.

Special Warranty Deed
Only covers issues during the seller’s ownership period.
Choosing the correct deed is essential for protecting buyers and sellers in Texas real estate transactions.

The key difference between and general and a special warranty deed is that in a general warranty deed, these covenants apply for the entire history of the property while in a special warranty deed, these covenants only apply during the seller’s ownership.
