Property Ownership

In Texas, a 'survey exception' in a deed indicates that the parties have agreed:

ANo survey is needed because the title is clear
BThe title is subject to matters that would be shown by a current accurate survey✓ Correct
CThe boundaries are guaranteed by the county
DThe property includes all mineral rights

Explanation

A survey exception in a deed indicates that the title is subject to any encroachments, easements, overlaps, or boundary disputes that would be revealed by a current accurate survey of the property. Buyers should obtain a survey to identify any survey issues before closing, and may be able to delete or amend the survey exception in the title policy.
