Texas HB4558 amends property law to require stricter verification for recording documents conveying real or personal property interests.

Texas HB4558 modifies the requirements for recording documents that convey or purport to convey an interest in real or personal property. It mandates that such documents must be signed and acknowledged by the grantor in the presence of two credible witnesses and certified by an authorized officer.
