BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 16.025(b), Civil Practice and Remedies | ||
Code, is amended to read as follows: | ||
(b) This section does not apply to a claim based on a | ||
quitclaim deed, a forged deed, or a deed executed under a forged | ||
power of attorney. | ||
SECTION 2. Chapter 13, Property Code, is amended by adding | ||
Section 13.006 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 13.006. EFFECT OF RECORDING QUITCLAIM DEED. After the | ||
fourth anniversary of the date a quitclaim deed for real property is | ||
recorded in the deed records of the county in which the real | ||
property is located, the quitclaim deed: | ||
(1) does not affect the question of the good faith of a | ||
subsequent purchaser or creditor; and | ||
(2) is not notice to a subsequent purchaser or | ||
creditor of any unrecorded conveyance of, transfer of, or | ||
encumbrance on the real property. | ||
SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
to a quitclaim deed recorded on or after the effective date of this | ||
Act. A quitclaim deed recorded before that date is governed by the | ||
law in effect immediately before the effective date of this Act, and | ||
that law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
