Authorized Submitter Process
To become an E-Recording authorized submitter, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) must be signed and submitted. Submission software is not available from the County Clerk's office. For more information, please contact us.
Please note: Digital signatures are acceptable on a document that has been filed with the county clerk electronically by code requirements (eRecording). A paper document that contains a copy of a digital signature or signatures does not meet requirement of Property Code 12.00011 that requires a document to have an original signature. To allow for a paper document to be recorded with electronic signatures, the notary must attach a “tangible paper declaration” to the paper copy of the electronically signed instrument.
