Affidavits in Texas
From WFG Wiki
We can do a correction affidavit under Property Code 5.028 – it addresses this specific situation. If the attorney recorded the doc, then it’s his obligation (or it should be) to do the correction affidavit and file it.
Defects in legal descriptions typically constitute material defects requiring curative action, such as, a corrective deed from the proper parties. However, in this case, if the proper full legal description is contained in the deed referenced in current vesting deed, then I suggest a Scrivener’s Affidavit from the attorney whom prepared the vesting deed, reflecting the inadvertent omission and properly describing the property intended to be conveyed, with notice to all interested parties.
