There are two types of indexes: the direct index, organized by the grantor (seller) name, and the reverse index, organized by the grantee (buyer) name. Grantee is the buyer, while the Grantor is the seller. In legal documents, the grantor is usually listed at the bottom and the grantee is listed at the top. The five most common kinds of Texas deeds are general warranty deeds (grantor is warranting (or guaranteeing) that they have a legal and equitable title and no other claims to the property out there), special warranty deeds (grantor only guarantees that no title issues exist for the time period that they owned the property), quitclaim deed (make no guarantees about ownership), transfer on death deed, and deed of trust (protects the lender on mortgages). Volume/Book Notes: H is particularly thick. It has 2 volumes labeled H. Abbreviations: Kinds are A = Agreement, C = Contract, D = Deed, DD = Deed and Decree, MD = Mortality Deed, P = Partition, R = Receipt, TD = Trust Deed Grantee/Grantor are "Admr" = administrator, "Admrx" = administratrix (female), "Ass." = associate or assessor, Atty" = attorney, "et al" = "and others", "guardn" = guardian (so person is minor), "Extr" = Executor, "Extrx" = Executrix (female), "Wm." is William, "&" = and Book are H1 = Vol. 1st H, H2 = Vol. 2nd H.
