Creates two new criminal offenses: "real property theft" (Sec. 31.23) and "real property fraud" (Sec. 32.60) with defined elements for transfers, false statements, and causing others to sign or record documents.

Sets felony punishment tiers and increases offense level when the victim is elderly, disabled, a nonprofit, or the property is a homestead (market-value thresholds determine degree).

Requires judgments or deferred-adjudication orders in cases under these offenses to include the property address and county-record document reference numbers, and mandates filing a certified copy with the county real property records within 10 days.

Adds a restitution rule for real property theft requiring defendants to pay owners, title companies, or insurers for property value or foreseeable losses, with a process reducing restitution if title is corrected before conviction.

Requires county clerks to collect and may copy photo ID for in-person real property record filings, and to notify law enforcement (plus provide photo ID info) when an individual alleges a recorded conveyance is fraudulent for documents filed after Jan. 1, 2026.
