[TX] How do I remove my previous partner’s name from the deed of my property?

Hi, I'm currently filling out a Texas quitclaim deed to remove my previous partner's name from the deed. I think I’ve done it correctly, but I’ve never done this before and want to make sure it’s accurate before I take it to the county clerk.

Your previous partner is the grantor, and you are the grantee. Since she is transferring ownership, only she has to sign the deed. Make sure she signs it in the presence of a notary (Texas Property Code § 12.001(b)). Then, take it to the clerk in your county to record it.

Nothing I can think of. I'm trying to learn as I go. I’m pretty new to this.

Oh, I understand. Ok, perfect, so she’ll sign in front of the notary. Thank you so much for all your help, Jessica. You’ve been a lifesaver.
