Deed Records from iDoc - This is your only option for viewing and printing pages from deed books since 19 Jan 1984, but it is not free. These records also include some non-deed records. Although the site indicates that it only has records since 19 Jan 1984. there are actually some records prior to 1984 included (before 1981, there are 142 records; between 01 Jan 1982 and 18 Jan 1984, there are 6579 records). The search function is free to use, but viewing an individual deed on this site requires payment with options including $5/day + $1/page, $50/week + $1/page, or $100/month + $1/page.

Indexes to Deeds - If you do not know the volume and page number of a deed, the best way to find it is to use the deed index books. All of the services above have links to at least some of the index books, but the best and easiest to use is on iDoc, and unlike the deed books themselves, the viewing of indexes on iDoc is free.

Table of Deed Books - The table below provides a list of the deed books, filing dates included in each volume, which index is best for locating a person in that volume, and links to books the that are viewable online. Deeds were usually recorded within a few days of filing. Volume 27 contains deeds transcribed from McLennan County, 1850-1855. Volume 1 contains the patent certificates (the filing dates are the dates they were filed in Bosque County, not the date they were originally issued).

Note: When looking for a deed, please remember that the deeds are ordered by the date they were filed and recorded, not by the date they were executed, so deeds may be contained in volumes with much later dates, sometimes even years later.
