Sec. 12.009.  MORTGAGE OR DEED OF TRUST MASTER FORM.  (a)  A master form of a mortgage or deed of trust may be recorded in any county without acknowledgement or proof.  The master form must contain on its face the designation:  "Master form recorded by (name of person causing the recording)."
(b)  The county clerk shall index a master form under the name of the person causing the recording and indicate in the index and records that the document is a master mortgage.
(c)  The parties to an instrument may incorporate by reference a provision of a recorded master form with the same effect as if the provision were set out in full in the instrument.  The reference must state:
(1)  that the master form is recorded in the county in which the instrument is offered for record;
(2)  the numbers of the book or volume and first page of the records in which the master form is recorded;  and
(3)  a definite identification of each provision being incorporated.
(d)  If a mortgage or deed of trust incorporates by reference a provision of a master form, the mortgagee shall give the mortgagor a copy of the master form at the time the instrument is executed.  A statement in the mortgage or deed of trust or in a separate instrument signed by the mortgagor that the mortgagor received a copy of the master form is conclusive evidence of its receipt.  On written request the mortgagee shall give a copy of the master form without charge to the mortgagor, the mortgagor's successors in interest, or the mortgagor's or a successor's agent.
(e)  The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code  prevail over this section.
