Not being an attorney or real estate expert, this answer will have to be generic in nature, until a pro can improve it. I think that, in Texas, a Contract for Deed is a method of purchase of real property in which the BUYER does NOT generate ANY EQUITY as payments are made [as with a warranty deed]. All ownership, interest, and equity REMAINS with the SELLER UNTIL the last payment has been made, and all fees, costs, and documents transferring title to the BUYER have been executed and filed with the County Clerk.

Does owner financing and contract for deed mean the same thing?

When a home seller offers "owner financing", they are essentially offering to hold a mortgage note for the deed on the property. The mortgage note is the "contract". The contract pledges the deed to the buyer once they pay in full. Once the "contract" is paid off, then the deed is transferred to the buyer as the new owner.
