Texas tax sales
redeemable deed state
Texas does not sell tax liens; after a taxing unit wins a delinquent-tax foreclosure judgment, the property itself is sold at a public auction and the buyer receives a Constable's or Sheriff's deed. Sales are conducted by county constables or the sheriff, generally on the first Tuesday of each month, either in person at a county location or online through a contracted platform. Bidders usually must obtain a written statement from the tax assessor-collector showing they owe no delinquent taxes and register before the sale; payment is typically in cash, certified funds or wire. Many properties remain subject to the former owner's right of redemption: two years for residence homesteads and agricultural land, and 180 days (six months) for other property.
