Regarding the recording of documents in Texas, which statement is incorrect?

In Texas, the requirement regarding the language of documents for recording is specific. Although it is true that many documents can be presented in different languages, the critical factor for recording is that the document must be in English, or accompanied by a certified English translation if written in another language. Therefore, stating that all deeds may be in any language is incorrect, as this does not comply with the legal requirements established for the recording of real estate documents in Texas.

The other statements are accurate. An instrument must indeed be signed for it to be eligible for recording, ensuring there is an authentic representation of the parties' intentions. Additionally, while not every document affecting property must be recorded to be valid, recording is crucial for establishing priority claims against properties and informing interested parties about existing property interests, which is the purpose of the recording process. This framework helps maintain clarity and transparency in property transactions, protecting both buyers and sellers.
