How to complete it
Return address (Page 1) Enter where the county clerk should mail the recorded original.
Parties, property, and loan (Pages 1–2) Name the grantor (borrower), a trustee, and the lender, and describe the property and note.
Sign before a notary (Page 3) Each borrower signs. Bring a current, government-issued photo ID.
Record the original with the county clerk of the county where the property is located.
When the loan is paid, the lender signs a Release of Lien. We have a free Texas form.
Pair it with a signed Promissory Note. Homestead and consumer loans have special Texas rules; talk to an attorney.
State the facts concerning an original note that cannot be located and the steps taken to find it. This Texas affidavit does not by itself establish the right to enforce the debt, discharge a lien or require a recipient to accept a copy.
Set out the loan amount, payment schedule and other agreed repayment terms in the Texas packet. Review interest, security and enforcement choices with an attorney; a notary does not advise on loan terms.
Identify the debt, recorded lien and authorized releasing party for a Texas real-property lien release. Paying a debt and releasing the public lien record are separate steps; confirm the recording details and lender instructions.
