Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

What type of Deed?

I just purchased a house in Texas in my name, single individual. There is a real estate lien. I want to transfer title to my individual Living Trust, myself as trustee. What type of Deed, Warranty or Limited Warranty Deed should I prepare. I am I allowed to prepare and file a Deed without an attorney or title company involved.
