A:
It sounds like you are having difficulty paying the mortgage and are trying to avoid foreclosure. A quit claim deed won't help in that situation (it doesn't even convey the land in Texas, and should virtually never be used).
An adverse possession claim is a way of acquiring property, but won't remove the mortgage lien.
If you can sell the property, hopefully you can get enough to pay off the debt, and you may be able to find a buyer who wants the property as an investment, and lease it back from them.
