Another way to find the deed to the house is to check the Bexar County Appraisal District’s web page. Look up the address of the house. At the very bottom of the page describing the property, there will be a list of past deeds that were filed for the property. This page has the volume and page number of the deeds, and you can look them up that way, too.

Hope that helps …

I’m trying to find some information. My father passed a couple of years ago and had transferred two houses into one of my sister’s name with the understanding that the houses were sold to her for a certain amount and that she would continue to pay a monthly payment for a certain amount of years to myself and my siblings. He did this thinking this would prevent us from having to pay money to an attorney for probate. Nonetheless, this did not turn out exactly as he planned because we didn’t know exactly how much he sold the houses for and my sister completely stopped paying the monthly payment to my dad upon his death. In addition, we were unable to find any documents supporting the transaction. I want to know if you transfer property into someone’s name, do you have to file a document with the city outlining how much was paid for the property and other information? Any information you can provide would be much appreciated.
